Engagement kickoff with ForePath
Purpose of kickoff
Kickoff aligns scope, contacts, access, and communication so delivery can start without guesswork. It usually follows an
accepted proposal or signed statement of work.
Typical kickoff agenda
1. Confirm scope, milestones, and acceptance criteria from the proposal or SOW.
2. Name primary contacts on both sides (technical, commercial, escalation).
3. Agree channels. Portal updates, live chat during business hours when the widget is available (cookie consent
required), and [email protected] for async mail.
4. List access required for delivery, with a safe credential handover method.
5. Set the first delivery checkpoint and how status will appear in the portal.
What we need from you
- A named decision maker for scope changes
- Technical contacts who can grant or revoke access
- Billing and invoice recipients, including VAT ID where required
- Any constraints (change windows, data residency, security review gates)
Hours and response aims
Support business hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00 Europe/Berlin, excluding public holidays in North
Rhine-Westphalia, unless your contract says otherwise. Published response aims (not contractual SLAs) for general
Support are about two business days. Contract SLAs override Help defaults.
