Being able to describe our processes succinctly is critical. Summarizing our elevator pitch is also very important as well. Often we don't get a lot of time with our executive leaders, so we have to maximize the face time we do get. This is where we can deliver the "bottom line up front" approach to queuing up leadership decisions.

In 2 minutes or less, be able to:

• Summarize the thing you need a decision on
• State the decision the team needs the leader to make
• Describe the impact on scope, schedule, cost, or quality
• Share the team's recommendation
