Prepare and organize a design project review

Project reviews are meetings that take place at certain key dates in an industrial project, notably at the hinge between each phase and at the end of the project; they are intended to show the project's progress (by producing "deliverables").

A project review is important: it's the meeting point between the project manager and his team, and the company's decision-maker(s), or even its customers. It gives rise to decisions about the project's future. It cannot be improvised. This worksheet answers the following questions:

• How can you prepare for a design project review?

• How to make your Powerpoint presentation a success (form and content)?

• What should you do just before your presentation to give yourself the best chance of success?

• What are the conditions for a successful design project review?

• What to put in the review?
