2. Who is the customer?
The customer will be the people that come to the event and the Visions staff. As the reading last week said, THIS IS OUR EVENT, so we should make sure our agenda is being fulfilled.
3. What are the deliverables of the project? (These are tangible and intangible.)
The main deliverable is whether or not we can find a qualified speaker who has charisma and will agree to be here on the day of the event.
4. What is the budget?
Finding someone will require time rather than money... However, we have to keep in mind that we are paying for the speakers lodging and airfare so it should be someone who is worthwhile and someone that doesn't deliver any negative surprises upon arriving.

5. How long will it take?
It will take around 25 minutes in class to flesh out who we want, beyond that it will take probably 3 to 4 hours to find enough info about people to place them on the initial list. We will then have to sort through that list, which will probably be 2 hours of discussion. And then we will bring that list into class for a 15 20 minute discussion/vote

8. Who is working the project? What is each person's job?
Myself with Nico, and Matt G helping will be the ones researching and trying to find potential candidates. The class will be needed to help set the criteria and then vote on the final selections.
9. What is the schedule?
10/15 I give the initial presentation
10. What are the risks? (Small vs. large impact, likely vs. unlikely)
Biggest Risk is that the person turns us down, but we will have a back up and Shannon doesn't believe that will happen. Second biggest risk is that we will have not done enough research on the person and they may disappoint, which is large impact but unlikely.

11. How will you communicate with your team?
We will communicate during our weekly Programming meetings.
12. How will you determine if the project is successful?
The project will be successful based on how satisfies everyone seems with the person and based on whether or not the person sets the intended tone on the day of the event.
