Presenting Your Ideas

In the meeting on 17/03/2014 you should present your project idea.

You would be given 15 minutes for that as follows:

    • On the first 5 minutes you would present the main scenario (use case) and perssonas that your application targets.

      • Describe the situation, the need and 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.

      • Present initial feature list and divide the features into milestones. Estimate what could be *demonstrated* in one month, what could be demonstrated after another 2 months and what are possible extensions that could not be finished within the time frame of the semester but seems to be natural extension of your application.

      • Include in your presentation UI mock-ups.

    • On the next 5 minutes you would answer questions from the rest of the class and the workshop staff.

      • During this discussion the workshop team would try to estimate whether your use-case is well developed and your estimations are real.

    • On the last 5 minutes you would get feedback from workshop staff.

Good example for a presentation:

Moishd - 2010/2011A

Some tips:

  • Early feedback is a good thing! It is advisable that you send us your idea or presentation as soon as possible via email (taugadgets@gmail.com) - this would save you a lot of time (e.g. if you took a wrong directions, 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 computability problems would occur during your presentation).

  • Be simple and precise.

  • Take a look at presentation from previous semesters (for example at the bottom of https://sites.google.com/site/cloudweb10a/teams-and-projects)

  • Rehearse your presentation within the team and make sure you are all on the same page.

  • Please send us your presentation before the meeting.

Good luck
