JUDGE INSTRUCTIONS

JUDGING THE PRESENTATION

1. Please familiarize yourself with all of the guidelines before interacting with participants. Your job is to evaluate

the participant(s) presentation based on the Presentation Evaluation Form.

2. To ensure fairness, at no time should a participant be asked where he/she is from (school, state, country, etc.).

3. Please place the participant(s)’ name(s) and identification number(s), using labels if provided, on the bubble

score sheet as instructed (if not already done). If a bubble score sheet has not been provided, this information

must be placed on the Presentation Evaluation Form for this event.

4. Participants will be scheduled for presentations at forty (40) minute intervals.

5. You will have ten (10) minutes to read the written report before the participants enter the judging area/room.

6. The twenty (20) minutes following the introduction will allow the participant(s) to outline the project plan and

answer questions. Remember, you are role-playing a company CEO. You may refer to the Participant’s Written

Report or to your notes during the interaction with the participants.

7. To insure fairness, you must ask the participant(s) the same questions—one question from each of the major

categories shown on the evaluation sheet would be appropriate. After asking the standard questions, you may

ask other questions for clarification specific to the current participant(s).

8. Following the twenty (20) minute interaction period, please thank the participant(s) for the presentation. Please

give no indication of their performance/score.

9. During the last ten (10) minutes, after the participants are excused from the judging area, you may score the

participant(s). Refer to the Evaluation Criteria section for guidelines. On the bubble sheet provided, please

bubble in the appropriate score and write the score on the corresponding line to verify accuracy. Please make

sure not to exceed the maximum score possible for each item.

Please make sure to record a score for all categories, add them for the total score, and then initial the total score. The

maximum score for the interview is fifty (50) points.

Note: If a bubble score sheet is not provided, indicate your scores on the Project Management Presentation

Evaluation Form.

You may be asked to complete the Recap section and total your combined score for both the written entry and the

presentation. The section manager will double-check all addition.

The Presentation Evaluation Form follows the outline shown in the section entitled Guidelines for the Presentation,

which explains in greater detail what should be discussed in each part.

During the presentation, ask yourself, “Will this work? Is it realistic? Does the participant sound knowledgeable? Is

the participant communicating clearly?” Ultimately, you must decide, “Is this a successful project manager?”
