Blog 12

Hello!

I can't believe that this is our final blog post and that our client presentation is next week! It's a relief to know that all of our hard work will finally be appreciated, but also nerve racking. Last Monday was our final meeting with our client Tyler and he gave us some great pointers on how we should present. He mentioned how we're presenting to mainly CEOs, so they're not going to hesitate on asking the hard question. I am a bit nervous for this, but know that our group did great research and could answer any questions they throw at us. I think the main step we have to take is practicing to be ready for the questions. Our deliverables and plans seemed to be right on track with what Tyler expected out of our research, which was a relief.

This coming week, we are editing and condensing what information should be on the powerpoint and how we should present. I think one of the hardest parts of that is narrowing down the information we should touch on the most, especially because we have excess insights and data. Once we feel confident that we have a final draft of the presentation, Tyler offered to look it over a final time and give us any last advice. He has been such a supportive, concise client to work with! Our group is also going to take our presentation and just transfer it over into our report. I'm not looking forward to that part because I know it will be time consuming.

My advice for people going into their capstone would be to plan plan plan. Establish what exactly needs to be done at the beginning, then assign each task each week of the course. It will help with organization and also to make sure you have enough time to finish everything. Best of luck to those finishing their capstone and to those just starting out!
