Phase 4 - Operate

Slide Content

The slide is titled "Operate" and emphasizes that this phase is "all about making it business as usual." The content outlines the results expected during this phase: confirming the quality of delivery and releasing the backup team, ensuring service agreements and support systems are in place, managing risks while reviewing costs and benefits, and closing the project with lessons learned for a smooth handover to the daily operations team. Each bullet point represents a critical aspect of transitioning into standard operations.

Graphical Look

• The slide background is solid gray.
• A large green arrow-shaped banner at the top contains the word "Operate."
• A quote in white italics on the green background states, "It’s all about making it business as usual."
• A vertical gray line divides the slide into two sections.
• To the left of the divider, a semi-transparent graphic of a curved arrow pointing downwards, labeled "Phase results:".
• Four green rectangular shapes to the right of the divider, each with white text outlining the phase results.

The slide’s overall design is modern and business-oriented, with a clean and organized layout. The use of green emphasizes important aspects and results, while the curved arrow guides the viewer through the content in a logical progression.
