For the first milestone of your final project, you will compose an analysis of the mission statement of Nimble Storage, the storage company that is the
focus of your case study: Nimble Storage: Scaling Talent Strategy Amidst Hyper-Growth. In your analysis, you will be asked to determine if the annual goals and
objectives set by the company constitute an appropriate business practice for a company wishing to go global. You will also be asked to assess the technological
gaps in the company.
In addition to composing this analysis, this milestone also requires you to begin populating an Excel spreadsheet: PESTEL Analysis Worksheet. In each milestone
in this course, you will be asked to fill in a few rows of this spreadsheet based on individual countries/regions. This worksheet will be used as a visual aid to help
you understand the data necessary to determine the steps Nimble Storage needs to take in order to go global. Each time you populate this worksheet (which
you will do three times throughout the course), you will work through the characteristics of different countries/regions. Although this is separate from your
milestone composition, you must upload the worksheet for review and instructor feedback as part of your milestone submission. For the first milestone of your final project, you will compose an analysis of the mission statement of Nimble Storage, the storage company that is the
