Write this from scratch. It is okay to copy bits and pieces from previous documents and tech-memos, but be sure the final result flows well, so as not to seem like it is pieced together. AND be sure to update the verb tense so it makes sense now versus before. In all honesty, it will be easier to just write it fresh from scratch; but, do this after you have a complete draft of the rest of the document, which is what you are summarizing here.
The executive summary of this document, in the format provided in the template (Times New Roman 12-point, 1.3 line spacing, 1-inch margins, etc. — “Normal” paragraph style), should be a maximum of one (1) page. As always, you must be complete but you must also be selective to make it fit and not spill over to a second page! Remember the importance of executive summaries as described in the book. (Math to Mettle, Chapter 5, Section 2)
In the template, select “START HERE” and begin typing.
