Instructions (continued) • They are also not intended to be answered verbatim and are not a substitute for thought and analysis. • If a chart or graph most succinctly summarizes the team’s work, then it should be considered (a picture is worth a thousand words). • Note: Gatekeepers will read all of the project deliverables prior to the Gate Meeting. Additionally, Gatekeepers will refer to the specific detailed project information. The Gate Presentation is designed to focus on key issues only and not to review all project data.
