Two weeks ago, NBCU held their final pitchouts for rotations.

For many of the LP's this was nothing new as they were finishing their 3rd Rotation and moving to thier 4th/final rotation. However for myself, and a few others, this was a first.

For those who are new to the term "pitchouts," let me elaborate.

At the end of each rotation, LP's are required to sum up everything they worked on into a 3-4 minute pitch. Not too extreme right? Well I quickly found out that cramming the 4 different projects I was working on into 3 slides while still getting my points accross is a skill that took weeks of refining.

November marks the halfway point for my first Rotation, which also means Mid-Rotational Review. At the beginning of the rotation we are required to compile a list of goals that we will be evaluated on three times over the course of the rotation.

The first review, is primarily to make sure you have clear, measurable goals regarding your project so you can easily tell whether or not you are doing well. The second, which I will go into depth a little later, is where your program manager for the business you work for will evaluated you on your goals thus far. And finally, around the time when you pitch your projects out to senior management at the end of your rotation, you are put through a final review.
