Scenario Summary With two weeks to go until TEDxTBD happens, university administrators are feeling excited and anxious at the same time. Miguel has done a great job keeping them informed, and Gessica speaks up on behalf of how well the project has been managed every chance she gets. She was especially impressed when the team introduced the change management process a couple months ago. When Miguel meets with you and Maria, he wonders aloud what could be done to help leadership feel confident that all is ready. They have looked at the project dashboard and see that tasks are complete or will be in the next two weeks. After some discussion, you mention the event space is reserved for use both the day before and the day of the event so everything can be set up and tested in advance. You propose we invite university leadership to tour the space late the day before so they can see everything is ready Miguel says that is a great idea. He will offer the opportunity to the group and make arrangements to get them there, but what about those unable to come? You suggest a printed copy of the current dashboard, but Miguel wonders if something that looks like a verified checklist might be more effective. Noting the puzzled look on your face, Miguel chuckles and says that he has his pilot's license and a verified checklist is a checklist used before takeoff to ensure a safe trip. That sounds like a great idea, so you agree to draft something for Miguel and Maria to review. You suggest using the key deliverables in the organizer guide as the starting point, with added detail where it might help. Maria agrees, and also suggests that you point out everything on the checklist that leadership could see for themselves if they join the tour.
