🚀 Project kickoff
Kick off a project in five minutes
Goal, scope, milestones, team, risks, next steps. Say it once and voisNTS puts every point where it belongs.
A kickoff makes the start of a project clear for everyone: why are we doing this, what’s in and out, when is what done, who’s involved, what could go wrong and what happens first. The template has a part for each, with dates for milestones and owners for next steps.
How it works
Start the kickoff
Lists tab → + → Project kickoff. Rename it to your project.
Talk it through
Tap the microphone: “The goal is a new website by March. The shop is out of scope. Design ready mid-January. Risk: the copy is late. First step: collect the old texts.” Apple Intelligence sorts each point.
Add dates and names
Milestones, Team and Next steps have a When chip for a date or name.
Turn next steps into tasks
Hold a next step → Add to Tasks.
Share it
List menu → Share as text gives a tidy kickoff summary for your team.
Parts

Tips
- Keep the goal to one sentence: it’s what everyone should remember.
- From 1.7: save a kickoff as a template if you start similar projects often.

Questions
Is a kickoff the same as a project in voisNTS?
No. Projects collect ideas and tasks by tag in the Library. From 1.7, List menu → Make a project turns the kickoff into one: the goal becomes the description and the next steps become tasks with the project’s tag.
