Kick off meeting can occur at various points in time based on project characteristics.
1)Shortly after initiation, in the planning process group - typically in small projects where same team is involved in planning and execution.
2)Within Executing Process Group - this happens in large projects where a PM team performs majority of planning and rest of the team is brought in when the initial planning is complete, at the start of development/implementation. Saving Changes...

There can be more than one kick off meeting, i.e., before the start of each phase. It can be an opportunity to introduce all team members and stakeholders (some may have changed since last kick off if not the first), showcase the problem to be solved and intent of the project phase, high-level scope, schedule, and budget, high-level change control procedures, project execution approach, etc. Saving Changes...
Thanks for the replies. Similar to my other question I'm sitting in front of the PMP exam Question is during which processes a kickoff meeting happens? From one of my online video courses it specifies kickoff meetings are usually when planning is done and just before executing starts. If I do a search for kickoff in PMBOK 6 there's no results!!!!!

Martin,
As someone who had 20 years of PM experience prior to taking the exam, I found studying the process groups and how the PMBOK authors chose to organize things, tedious and non-value added.
The good news is you only have to pass it once, nobody in your professional career will ever ask you again what activity fits into what process group unless you become a PMBOK SME, and if you ever did need to know, you can use the book.

For sure I totally agree with that and trust me it's very frustrating!! But I guess you have to do do what you have to do to pass the exam. Like you said thankfully it's only once. I think it's a good framework and it presents you with way more than what a PM would ever need but I guess it's better to know more than less!!!

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons."
