The method for applying the selection criteria, and the
justification for both. How are you going to score the projects

Hints for a Successful Part 1:
This is not a complete project proposal or even a complete status
report. You are making a specific proposal to management of a
“Project Portfolio Evaluation and Selection Process”.
All reports and memos to executives should include an executive
summary at the beginning. This one is no exception.
The discussion of the organization should be limited to how the SBU
organization supports projects and the PPM process. It is not
necessary to discuss the total company.
Pay attention to the specifics requested in the deliverables. Do NOT
make your memo a list of questions and answers. That is not the way
a business memo is written. It is easy to select a process that is
presented in a reference but you must propose one that works for your
SBU.
When you think you are finished put yourself in the role of someone
who was not working on the solution and read your presentation. You
can assume you know the basics of PPM.

Does your presentation provide a good description of the
process and how it will be applied?
Are there obvious questions that it raises that are not answered?
This is not a classroom assignment, it is a business memo. Also it is
not a research report and you are not trying to demonstrate your
academic expertise and how well you are read.
