Notes:
The research contractor can add their company logo onto the left side of this cover slide.
Anything between the square brackets ([]) inclusive should be replaced.
There are two sections in this presentation, one for project status updates, the other for project final results. Delete the section that isn’t applicable.
This template is for project status updates or for the presentation for project final results presented at PRCI technical committee (TC) meetings. It may also be used for project team updates as an option.
Project updates presented at PRCI technical committee meetings should focus on changes in project status since the last TC update was presented.
Limit the background information that is presented at every TC meeting. More background information may be necessary if an update was not provided at the previous TC meeting. Work with the PRCI Program Manager (PM) and project team leader to verify the appropriate level of background information.
PRCI posts presentations given at previous TC meetings, assume that the audience has already seen most of that information.
As a general rule, status updates should be minutes in length. Coordinate the presentation time with the PRCI PM.
Unless directed otherwise by the PM, status updates should not be a working session for the project team. Any new issues raised in this review should be taken offline to be addressed at a project team meeting or via PRIME/ .
Project final results
Project final results should include high level background information
As a general rule, project final results should be minutes in length. Coordinate the presentation time with the PRCI PM.
