The board has hired you independently to provide a review of this recent (or ongoing) product/ project. You are to gather as much information as possible and present your findings to the board. The focal point is to be on quality and risk. Since these knowledge areas are interwoven into other PM areas, it is okay to cover those areas as needed (ie, cost, time, etc). Describe the company, project, resources and some of the challenges behind the project in the opening presentation & summary to familiarize the board with what you are going to present. Photos, graphs, and other supporting material may be used as appropriate Comparisons to competitors, or similar projects is encouraged as long as it supports the point you are trying to make or emphasize Tie-in as much course content as you are able {i.e., stuff from the course book, PMBOK, quizzes, and key takeaways.} This will certainly be a focal point for grading, so clear and accurate delivery is critical. You can consider this assignment as your part of a bigger whole. That way you focus on the content related in this course. Numbers, stats, financials, and references must be properly cited. Expert opinions are allowed, but must be cited. Do not make educated guesses if at all possible. Seek out the information needed to support your findings. If an educated guess must be made, provide the framework around the guess. Do not just state an opinion. Grading will be inclusive of content & presentation with an emphasis on content. Again, you are presenting to a board of directors, so be professional and cognizant of their time and attention. ** Keep your presentation time in the 5-15 minute timeframe. Having a shorter or longer presentation is not advisable. If you look at this in the context of a consulting assignment, you risk losing any future \"consulting business\
