N.B.

These two slides are part of a 6 slides deck I was assigned to do for the Project Management Office of a big Canadian bank during a long job interview process. I deleted the slides referring to the Bank and its internal processes and kept my own response to the assignment.

Although they liked my slides and I made it to the final round of interviews, they preferred to go with a more experienced person as the position was about methodology advising more than anything else.
