Team Meeting Notes 10
November 15-17 Team Meetings
Team Meeting Objectives
Prepare for the technical review on 11/21. Start to get organized for the final presentations, product brochures, set design. Reflect upon what has been learned, prioritize, and redesign and prepare for your final build iteration. Plans, redesigns and orders should be in place before the upcoming Thanksgiving break. Select final presentation presenters before the Thanksgiving break. Divide team - some members should focus on prototype improvements while others work on your final presentation design, digital brochure, business model, product costing, user testing, etc. There is a lot to do, but you also have a lot of people to help out!Preparation Before Team Meeting 10
Review the technical review requirements Your task force should prepare a short, well organized, status report for the tasks that you have been working on. Financial officers should prepare a budget status report for the team. System integrators should prepare an agenda that includes a review of project status and a plan for what needs to be done.What's due
Tech review preparation, DHF updates, design notebook updates.Team Meeting 10 Activities
SIs start with agenda, assign scribe. Financial officers should give a short budget update to the team. Review the feedback from the most critical module and make a plan for the re-design. Prepare for technical review If you are selecting final presentation presenters this week, do that. You may also do this next week instead, should your team decide to meet, but you should select them before the break. Selection methods used by previous teams and tips for selecting presenters are linked.We will start this discussion during the MCM review but staff will want to discuss what you'd like your final presentation set to look like. Where is the setting? What props will you need? Find some sample background images to convey the feeling you are looking for (do not buy any images...staff will purchase the final image to be used). You may want to review prior year presentations in the 2.009 gallery to get a sense of what goes in a set. Set designs must be resolved early so that longer lead items can be ordered during Thanksgiving week. As there are no formal team meetings next week, you might want to start to prepare for final presentation which includes an online brochure and a formal presentation. The scope of the presentation ranges from the product and its technical design to customer needs, benchmarking, and a plan for how it could reach its potential market. The design and execution of the presentation is an important component of the grade. In planning, please do not underestimate the importance of preparing and practicing for the final presentation. Your team may meet next week to do this. Review the final presentation requirements and discuss and plan how the team will prepare for the final presentations. Divide tasks and assign responsibility for prototype and presentation components. See tips for the final product brochure here
