1.4.5. Phase 5: Presentation & Review

● Create a summary presentation (6–8 slides max) ● Include business problem, solution scope, user stories, diagrams, and next steps

In this step, you are required to prepare a summary presentation that is concise and informative. The presentation should not exceed 6 to 8 slides, focusing on effectively communicating key elements of your project. You must include:

• The business problem you are addressing with the project.
• The scope of the solution proposed, detailing what it will achieve.
• Key user stories that summarize how different users will interact with the system.
• Diagrams that illustrate the system's design or flow, such as use case or activity diagrams.
• Clearly defined next steps that outline what will happen after the presentation.

Think of creating this presentation like preparing a pitch for a new restaurant idea. You need to clearly explain the problem (for example, too few quick lunch options in your area), showcase what your restaurant offers (solution scope), highlight how customers will order their meals (user stories), use visuals to show your restaurant layout (diagrams), and explain how you plan to open the restaurant (next steps).

● Present your project to peers or mentor (live or recorded)

Once your summary presentation is ready, the next step is to deliver it. This can be done live, where you present in front of your classmates or colleagues, or recorded if you prefer to present asynchronously. The goal is to explain your findings and the solution proposal effectively, engage your audience, and respond to any questions they may have. The delivery of your project is crucial, as it demonstrates your understanding of the material and your ability to communicate complex ideas clearly.

Imagine you're in a classroom presenting a science project. You need to explain how your experiment works and why it matters, while also being prepared to answer questions from your classmates and teacher. It's important to practice your presentation so you can speak confidently and clearly, just like you would in this project presentation.

📄 Deliverables: ● Slide Deck (PDF or PPT) ● Optionally, record a 5-minute video walkthrough

In this phase, the deliverables consist of two main items. First, you must prepare a slide deck that summarizes your project findings, which can be submitted in PDF or PowerPoint format. This slide deck serves as your main presentation material. Additionally, you have the option to create a 5-minute video walkthrough of your project. This video allows you to visually and verbally present your work, which can be a helpful supplement to the slide deck, offering more depth and personal engagement.

Consider a chef preparing a dish for a cooking competition. The recipe card (slide deck) provides the judges with the ingredients and steps involved while the optional cooking video walkthrough shows the chef in action, explaining the cooking process. Both elements enhance the judges' understanding of the dish and the chef's techniques.
