Scope Management and Health Checks
Your brother-in-law is about to submit a scope statement to the town council for the July 4th parade and picnic he has volunteered to project manage. Your town has about 6,000 households, and this is the first time the town council has given tentative approval for the parade and picnic. The council president thinks that about $1,500 can be allocated for the event. Since your brother-in-law knows you are taking a project management class, he has asked that you perform a review; however, you are not sure if you need to perform an audit or a health check. Share your thoughts about whether you would perform an audit or a health check and describe your rationale.
Below are some details about the project.
