PresentYour Plan


Currently we are experiencing these Measures

of Pain.

The over all effect is the decrease or loss in

these Measures of Quality.

What I am proposing is this plan that would cost [this much].

We have these Measures of Delivery in place to show the progress of the plan, followed by

these Measures of Reuse to show the efficiency of the plan.

Our goal is to increase these Measures of

Quality by [this much], returning [this much] value back to the company.
