ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the various aspects of project meetings. Working on projects usually involves quite a lot of meetings. This includes the project start-up meeting, consultations with the sponsor and weekly project group meetings. A meeting is an organized occasion on which a number of people come together to engage in organized discourse. The chair is responsible for the organization and management of the meeting. The chair or the secretary draws up the agenda in consultation with others. Work or project meetings do not usually have to contain a verbatim report of what was said by the participants. During a project meeting, every participant plays a different role. In order to function well as a project group, it is essential that team agreements be made during the first project meeting and that members be aware of their own Belbin roles.
