What is a murder board? Select all that apply:
  1. A committee of people who critically assess the necessity of projects.
  2. Leadership committee
  3. An early stage planning process
  4. A way of soliciting personal feedback
  5. A method of ending projects
Explanation
Answer: A, C - A murder board is an early stage planning process meant to assess the value and strategic fit of a project. It utilizes a committee of people who do their best to “shoot down” the project.

Key Takeaway: The idea is if a project can withstand the murder board, it has legs and is worth exploring further. We like the murder board as a check/balance in an organization where senior managers dictate a lot of the strategy. An honest murder board can eliminate a lot of projects that should never have existed to begin with.
