<aside> đź’ˇ Each team then has 12 minutes to present, with 5 additional minutes for questions. Depending on team size, this means each person has about 3/4 minutes of speaking time. We will be strict with you on timing, so make sure you use your time effectively.

</aside>

Your timetable includes time allocated for your team to write your presentation and discuss how you are going to present your project together.

Remember: We want to hear from everyone during your presentation!

Structure

  1. Show your process:
  2. Briefly demo your project and explain how it conforms to your brief i.e. the user stories and acceptance criteria
  3. Talk about each project role, and how you divided up the work.
  4. Show your project board and (from Week 2) report on estimated vs actual velocity
  5. Walk us through your code. Emphasise the things you learnt that were new to you, which the rest of your cohort could benefit from hearing about:
  6. Have the people who didn’t write a piece of code talk through it - this is a great way to demonstrate knowledge of learning and collaboration. Your whole team should be able to explain the whole codebase - in other words, everyone is responsible for writing code the whole team understands.
  7. Avoid talking through the project brief for a long time - each team has the same brief and your time will be better spent talking about what was unique about your presentation
  8. [From week 4 onwards] talk about which KSBs you’ve met in your projects that week

Preparing for presenting

Your team should spend some time preparing what you’ll present. Alongside creating a slide deck, this means preparing which parts of the presentation you’ll each talk through and ensuring your presentation fits within the time available.

Decide together which sections each person will talk through. Who will share the screen for the demo? Who will talk and who will click through? Choose someone on your team to keep time for the team.

Spend some time revisiting your codebase and understanding the code. Are there sections which you couldn’t talk about? If so, spend time reading through the code together to ensure you are all on the same page, especially for code you didn’t write yourself. Everyone is responsible for this.
