Hi all, All that is now left to do on the group project is the presentation at 9:30 on Wednesday (13/05). It is important that everyone is there and says something, as stated in Reiko's email. With regards to the structure and order of who says what of our presentation, my thoughts are as below. Please let me what you think of this: Intro (1 person): What will be covered in presentation How delighted and excited we were by the project and its concept Re-engineering (Pair A): Problems with existing code Benefits of Re-engineering Highlight as big decision made by group Technology, infrastructure and architecture of our system (Pair A): Reasons for choosing and benefits of Any slight criticisms of What our system is great at (emphasis on!) (Pair B): Improvements to functionality that existed on old system Why our implementation of new requirements kicks ass! Why we added any functionality that wasn't a specified requirement, and why it is really great that we did The weaknesses of our system (Pair B): Requirements not met Non-prefect implementation of any features General interface negatives Our vision for the future if we were to continue project ourselves (1 Person): Obviously complete reimplementation of lost functionality Improvements we would envisage making and great ideas we've thought of Conclusion (1 person): Emphasise one or two reasons why our system is brilliant and why he should 'buy' it Say what a joy it has been working together and on such an exciting and intriguing project, and that we only wish we could have had more time to take it further. (Said without sounding like a creep!) With regards as to who says what, the key is to be able to talk knowledgeably and enthusiastically therefore if the is a part that anyone particularly wants to speak about then say so by the end of tomorrow. If no one is that bothered then I will just divide up the presentation myself. I think then that everyone should prepare powerpoint slides and what they are going to say on their section. The slides should then be emailed to me early evening Monday so that I can put them together into one presentation which looks good and is consistent; that is unless anyone else want to do this, otherwise then I am happy to. This deadline for finishing the slides would then allow us to meet on Tuesday with a largely finished sideshow. I would suggest we meet at about 2:00pm to rehearse and clarify what we are going to say. I think this is vital as preparation is crucial for a good presentation in my experience. Does anybody have an issue with this meeting time. Lastly, when we've finished practicing I reckon we should go to the Red Fearn for a pint to celebrate the hard work we've put in throughout the project and celebrate that after all this time it's nearly finished! What is everyone's suggestions and comments on all of this? Regards, David.
