Everyone in this week's homework indicated that they would require some from of a weekly, bi$-$weekly update. Some were detailed, some less detailed. Pretend I am a shareholder in your organization. Is this effort adding to my shareholder equity. If you were going to purchase a machine you would analyze and analyze it$.$ Justify to me that all of this is worth the effort. Does it improve project performance overall $($If not $-$ why do it$?).$ How do you know?

Coinsider this analogy $-$ many of you interviewed with me to enroll in the MEM program. I was able to "waive" some of the application requirements for you. As an example, letters of recommendation were waived. As director, why did I do this? I recognized that in all of my years I never read a "bad" one that would "tilt" the application decision $-$ thus it was$/$is a waste of all of our time.
