Scrum meeting notes

During the Trimester you will hold scrum meetings in your groups (in class or online in a discussion thread). Each group has five minutes to state what they have done and what they plan to do in the next week (each person in the group is required to speak every week). Any issues can be addressed in this time and groups are required to take minutes and update their status every scrum meeting. These meeting minutes then need to be attached to the report as an appendix.

PART B Presentation

Your group is required to present your final idea for the business in a ten (10) minute presentation pitched as though your lecturer is the client and you are selling the idea of your information system. Every group member must present a minimum of 2.5 minutes with an overall maximum of six slides (plus a reference list).

The presentation is ten (10) minutes with an additional five (5) minutes for questions. Online students will be asked questions via a discussion board.

ALL STUDENTS MUST ATTEND THE PRESENTATION. Special consideration (SC) must be sought if you are unable to attend. If you do not attend you will not receive any marks for this part of the assignment (unless SC is approved).
