Your team should give an overview of your client context and an indication
of what you will address in your presentation. Note: Your overview
section should summarize the content of your presentation not describe
the general assignment for project 3.

the costs involved in implementing your recommendations. Your field

recommendations but also to confirm the feasibility of those recommendations
before finalizing your report.
