πŸ“ Submit Technical Documentation Sections Outline

Submit by next class (1 PM on Wednesday 4/9).

Create a single Google doc with the following information:

  1. Information for your executive summary about background, motivation, problem statement, objectives, and deliverables. Have each of these as a separate section for this draft

  2. A detailed list of the sections (outline) your team will have in their Technical Documentation.

    • Specify who is the audience for each section or group of sections.
    • Discuss this with your advisor.

  3. A timeline to completion for your Technical Documentation taking into account the capstone deadlines. Consider making a Gantt chart, but also a list of dates and deliverables is ok. Tips:

    • If you liked how we split up the DIP by sections per week, try implementing something similar.
    • Write your executive summary and abstract last, your project might evolve along the quarter.

πŸ—“οΈ Revise your project timeline

  • Revise the timeline you submitted in your DIP: are you on time to complete it?
  • Revise and discuss your updated timeline with your advisor.
  • Update your client on any significant changes.
