“Preparation Guidelines” for Workshop 3

As part of the two day workshop in April, each Project Manager will be asked to report out on their PDPM project. We will be simulating a “Management Review” such as you might provide for your sponsor(s). This provides our expectations of what we’d like you to present and how to prepare for the exercise ahead of the workshop. Your report out will serve three purposes:

1) For you to learn our recommendations for “reporting up” on projects

2) For you to practice these recommendations and get feedback

3) For you to inform us of the status of your projects so we can provide guidance as appropriate, and see what kinds of patterns come up across the projects.




Note: we are not asking to see the Deliverables Matrix in this presentation. We do not recommend presenting that much detail about the project upwards, unless it is specifically requested.


Additional Expectations

o Use your Local Consultants as a resource about how to prepare for the exercise.

o Try to get your 4 powerpoint slides (4 components) to your Local Consultant no later than March 26th They may have some suggested changes that need to be finalized before meeting with experts on 30-31 March.

o It is a good idea to practice your presentation. You will be limited to a maximum of 5 minutes of presentation not counting questions and answer.
