    Who is KICKOFF for?

    Professionals Who Need Project Management Skills

    Your job title might not be Project Manager. But your role requires you to learn basic project management skills. KICKOFF™ can help familiarize you with project management tools and templates in less than one hour. Just like it did for user Brittany Mangold:

    “KICKOFF™ helped me to create best practices and work process within my company without being in a project management role myself. I really enjoyed the templates that were provided throughout the KICKOFF course because I could actually leverage them for the work I was currently doing.”

    Brittany Mangold


    Paid Social Strategy Manager

    Students and Early Career Professionals

    KICKOFF™ helps students and early career professionals learn how to start projects and take them to the finish line.

    It gives you a shareable badge you can use to boost professional credibility. Much like it did for student Divya Samant:

    “KICKOFF was a really great educational experience…The format of this course was extremely engaging and informative… This extremely well put together course makes agile ways of working both accessible and easy to learn. As a student and young professional, I would absolutely recommend this product to my peers who want to deepen their understanding of project management but don't know where to start.”

    PR & Communications Student 

    Organizational Executive

    Introduce KICKOFF to your team to help them develop a shared language of PM terms and processes. It is a no-cost way to improve productivity.

    “KICKOFF has enabled us to scale the onboarding of anyone that needs to manage projects. As we see more resources from non-project management backgrounds step quickly into project management roles, I can see us leaning on Kickoff to help us stay the best at what we do”

    Sr. Program Manager

    Project Management Faculty

    KICKOFF brings free, reliable basic project management resources to your team or classroom.

    It gives you quick lessons and templates you can customize to help with learning. Much like it did for Professor, Adesh Shah:

    “I found the level of knowledge in the KICKOFF™ course to be appropriate for beginners and was able to implement some of the KICKOFF™ learnings into my course this year.”
