Some social loafing evident. Detailed discussion of progress capturing results, analysis, and discussion and/or decision-making process. All team members working together to achieve project objectives 30 Plans for Completion Project management Extremely poor time management; unrealistic expectations. Successful completion unlikely. Behind on project management plan due largely to avoidable challenges. Current stage unclear or unsupported with evidence. Optimistic expectations for completion. Likely will require significant extra time On track with established project management plan. Current stage clearly stated, supported with evidence. Detailed plan of execution for project completion. Successful completion likely 30 Budget Missing or incomplete Insufficient revision/level of detail for conclusive projection Detailed and complete with revised cost estimates 5 Communication clarity and visual presentation Unpracticed, unorganized, and unengaging; not focused on audience Evidence of preparation but some rambling or tangents; slides adequate Obvious preparation; professional speech; slides visually stimulating 10 Complete within time allotted 10 min > time > 18 min 10 min < time < 13 min or 15 min < time < 18 min 13 min < time < 15 min 10 Comments: Total Score (out of 100) ______
