You have been serving as Electroscan's project manager and are well along in the 29 In-store Scanner project. Develop a narrative status report for the board of directors of the chain store that discusses the numbers of the project to date and at completion. Be as specific as you can using the numbers that you have been given. Remember that your audience is not familiar with the jargon used by project managers and computer software personnel so it needs to be translated into terms that they can understand. Your report will be evaluated on your detailed use of the data, your perspective of the current state and future status of the project and your recommendations. Permitted variances are within 10%. Any variations outside of that window require a corrective action plan. Actual Progress as of January 1 st (In thousands of dollars)
