    Once the project has been completely planned, the project plan is approved by the key stakeholders. This is when a Kickoff meeting is held. This meeting is not for reviewing the plan. The plan has already been approved. This meeting is to open communication channels between all stakeholders. Some of the discussions that happen during such a meeting are key project resource introductions, walkthrough of performance reports that would be sent and review of upcoming risks.

    b) Project has idle resources/free capacity

    c) There is proprietary information involved in doing the work

    d) It is cheaper to make

    e) It is faster to make

    f) It is not available in the market to buy

    The common reasons for buying would be as follows:

    a) Project does not have the capability to make it

    b) Project does not have the capacity to make it

    c) It is cheaper to buy

    d) It is faster to buy (available off the shelf)
