Project Technical Review
•Project Technical Reviews (PTRs) are
common for all engineering projects
•PTRs are used to evaluate projects and
their progress at all stages
•PTRs allow “new eyes” to view project
•PTRs provide insight to potential
problem areas and weaknesses
•PTRs provide a chance for mid-point
corrections
