Project Instructions
Each  year at the end of summer, Outdoor Recreation Unlimited puts on a major  sales event that includes live music, displays of discounted outdoor  clothing and gear, food vendors and fun outdoor activities in order to  sell their remaining retail and have a great time in the process. This  year, your boss has given you the task of being the project manager for  this event. The event will take place in three months and you’ll be  managing a team of five interns to help plan the event. 
It is  your first time in a project management role and you want to prove to  him that you are knowledgeable and well-equipped to take on these type  of duties. He prefers to not micromanage you, but would like he and his  team of executives to be aware of your plans before you start the  project. To do this, he has asked that you put together a 10-15-slide  PowerPoint presentation for the company’s board of directors that  answers the following questions: 

What are your cost estimates for the project? (You have an  unlimited budget, but in past years, costs for this event have not  surpassed $30,000.) 
What major milestones and timeline will you adhere to? 
How will you ensure quality and prepare for risks along the way? 
How will you manage your team assigned to this project? 
How you will report the status of the project? 
How you will measure the success of the project at its close?
