Proposal Presentation
Assessment Description
You made it through the board review and are now ready to kick off your project! As a result of your significant funding approval, your IT project team is responsible for communicating the details of the project to the enterprise. Introducing a project to the enterprise is a common occurrence, as companies seek to provide transparency and collaboration throughout their organizations. Prior unsuccessful presentations have failed to present technological solutions and concentrated on the business value, leading to drawn-out Q&A sessions and making the CIO extremely unhappy.
Your sponsor has requested that you create a PowerPoint slideshow with extensive speaker notes included. The sponsor will be the first to present the slide show during the companywide quarterly meeting. The sponsor will only have fifteen minutes to talk and answer questions, and has requested that no more than ten slides be used in the final presentation.
This presentation must meet all of the following criteria:
1. Clarify why the company is spending the funds and resources to complete the IT project.
2. Inform the enterprise of the changes that will be made during project implementation and how different departments may be impacted.
3. In addition, the enterprise is comprised of a highly technologically savvy group that enjoys seeing technical diagrams representing changes in topography and architecture that will occur in all proposed projects.
4. The CIO expects to see at least one context diagram of what changes are being made to infrastructure at the enterprise level within the presentation.
