In our third meeting (19/09/2014) you should present your project idea.
You will be given 15 minutes as follows:
- In the first 5 minutes you will present the main scenario (use-case) and users (target audience) that your application targets.
- Describe the situation, the need (the problem), the data involved, and the decisions made in the process.
- Describe the overall architecture of the application. What functionality will be implemented in each part? (client/server/mobile/external sources/etc.)
- Estimate what can be demonstrated in Milestone 1, and what can be demonstrated in Milestones 2 and 3. Estimate possible extensions that could not be finished within the time frame of the semester, but seem to be natural extensions of your application.
- Include UI mockups in your presentation.
- In the next 5 minutes you will answer questions from the rest of the class and the course staff. During this discussion, the course mentors will estimate whether your use-case is well developed and your estimations are realistic.
- In the last 5 minutes you will get feedback from the mentors.
Some Tips:
- Early feedback is a good thing! It is advisable that you send us your idea as soon as possible via email ([email protected]) - this can save you a lot of time (e.g. if you took a wrong direction, impossible mission, etc.).
- 15 minutes is a very short time!
- If you are preparing a power point presentation - do not prepare more than 5 slides (including cover slide).
- Be visual: if you have already thought about user interface, you may show a sketch of it in the presentation.
- You may bring your own laptop (so no compatibility problems would occur during your presentation).
- Be simple and precise.
- Take a look at presentations from previous semesters. An example for a good presentation: Moishd - 2010/2011A
- Rehearse your presentation within the team and make sure you are all on the same page.
- If you plan on using slides, please email them to us before the meeting.
If you haven't done so already, please send us an email with the names of your team members ([email protected]).
Good luck!
