Introduction

One of the assessment tasks for the software project units is an oral Final Project Presentation. This
is a team task, where all team members will participate in the presentation. The Presentation content
will be based on all major aspects of the project executed in the last 11-12 weeks. It is important
that it is coherent and well organised.

All Members are expected to participate equally to the presentation. Presentations will take place
during scheduled workshop and seminar sessions during weeks 11 and 12. A presentation schedule
is also available on Moodle to indicate your approximate presentation order.

There is no specification for the structure of the presentation. The written Project Final Report
specification may be used as a guide for the content. The following content are expected to be
included however, and can be based on the Final Report content due in week 12.

• Project Outcome: what was achieved

• Methodology used
• Brief update on Project Management and methodology used (Agile/Predictive or other, as
applicable)
• Discussion and possible further work.

Note the above is not an exhaustive list and other items may also be included.

It is NOT expected that the presentation will contain a demonstration of the software developed.
However screen shots of actual software are welcome.
