There are two interim reports. These do not involve much work and are in place to help you achieve a good final project.  Do as good a job as you can on them though, as they are my opportunity to give you early feedback to help the project be as good as possible

Interim Report #1

Compile a short PowerPoint presentation, and answer the following questions:


    1. What is the focal venture? Provide brief background, including how long it has been around for, it's size, what it does, etc.
    2. What system are they trying to change?
    3. What is the scope of the project?
    4. How will you collect the required information you need?
    5. What is your plan between now and the final report date?
    6. Which group members will do what?
    7. What can your possible issues be?


Interim Report #2

Submit:

  • A draft executive summary of the report, focusing on your analysis and insights (i.e., don’t give copious background information)
  • A draft outline for the report; i.e., what the sections and sub-sections will be
  • A list of 2-3 pressing questions you would like insights on.

The executive summary should be one page long (single spaced), and your report outline should have 4-6 sections with sub-sections in them.  Don't submit the main text, just the outline.

Importantly: trust that I know this is only preliminary work.  The point is not that you should have a final version at this point, just that you have some ideas that we can discuss.  The point is doing a check-in and giving feedback :)
