Agenda Background Problem Requirements Design Constraints This is your talk outline. Don’t change it. Try to do this with one slide per item, except for Design where you will need more than one slide. Background Problem Requirements Design Constraints Applicable standards Risk analysis and mitigation Project plan

Background First level Second level Third level Here describe the background to your project. The background should be sufficient so that your problem statement makes sense to your audience. Do not discuss your solution here.

Problem First level Second level Here describe your problem in one or Third level Here describe your problem in one or two concise and precise sentences. Problems are usually stated as questions. Do not discuss your solution here.

Requirements First level Second level Third level Here list your requirements. They should match what you submitted. Remember, requirements are always numbered and If you have many requirements, you may need to omit the acceptance criteria for brevity. measurable.

Design First level Second level Third level Here describe how you will solve your problem (and meet your requirements). This is the meat of your Presentation – you will spent the most time here. You will likely need mock-up screens, data structure descriptions, flowcharts, and/or block diagrams. In short, a design is a picture… it is not a bullet list.

Constraints First level Second level Third level What are the constraints for your project? This may include one or more of accessibility, aesthetics, codes, constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, policy, regulations, schedule, standards, sustainability, or usability.

Applicable standards First level Second level Third level What are the engineering standards that apply to your project? List them. Explain how they apply to your project.

Risk analysis and mitigation First level Second level Third level What are the risks to project success? How are you minimizing (mitigating) these risks?

Project plan First level Second level Third level Give a Gannt chart with milestones and dates. Remember that milestones must be measurable and must relate to the requirements.

Notes Some rules of thumb This is an example of One slide per minute of your talk Bullet text is one line at most Slides are not meant to be read Make sure font sizes are large enough for all to see No gratuitous “art” Neatness counts for more than you may first think Sloppy presentation implies sloppy thinking and sloppy work This is an example of a bad slide. It has far too much text on it.
