4. Project Technical Review
Project Technical Reviews (PTRs) are common for all engineering projects
PTRs are used to evaluate projects and their progress at all stages
PTRs allow “new eyes” to view project
PTRs provide insight to potential problem areas and weaknesses
PTRs provide a chance for mid-point corrections
