Assessment Details
Overview
By now, your project should be fairly advanced along your plan. Yet, no plan is perfect and thus,
your plan is very likely to have changed. Your will write about these 2 aspects in a report that must
contain the information below and the adhere to the following requirements.
This assignment should be submitted as a single PDF i.e., one per group, on Canvas (Turn It
In). it should be a maximum of 10 pages (1.15 spacing, font size 12, excluding any cover page,
table of content and appendix)
If your report is not within the 9-11 pages range following these requirements, a penalty of
up to 20% may apply.
You should follow the structure described in the rest of this section.
This report builds up on the previous one, important updates are highlighted in italic.

This section should include the basic information about your project. Much of these can be reused
from previous reports, but revised in the light of the feedback you have received.
Topic: A paragraph describing your topic. This should be a general overview and include your
motivation for this topic (i.e. why you find it interesting).
People: The details for each person in the group (name, student number, email address), as
well as each person’s interest in the topic, relevant skills, and most importantly, the role for
each person in the project. The role description is expected to be two or three sentences per
person.
Aims and Goals: Describe these as best you can. Each project should have a single aim (e.g.
Re-establish the King under the Mountain”, “construct an artefact in Minecraft”,”produce a
movie about green flowers”, “explore the use of Raspberry Pis for cooking”), but may have
several goals (e.g. defeat Smaug, annoy Bard, befriend Beorn, kill as many giant spiders as
necessary, fight Azog if he shows up, … ).
One paragraph for the aim and one for each goal is expected. Each paragraph should include a
description of the aim or goal, and a justification for it.
Scope: Describe the scope of your project, including the outcomes.
Future directions: Describe what should be considered next (technical and non-technical), as
well as the rationale and what requirements would be needed for those future directions.
Key features (with screenshots): Describe the key features of your final product with the
screenshots illustrating the features e.g., why are they considered as key features, what are
their purposes, how to use them etc. (similar to a user manual, or the section that you want to
give investors or end-users to showcase your product).
Project Progress
Describe what has happened in your project. This should address the issues below (but is not
necessarily limited to these). You should describe what has actually happened in the project; do
not avoid stating things that have gone wrong or not gone to plan. Descriptions that sound “too
perfect” will not be very convincing.
Description: Describe the “story” of your project – how it began, how it has progressed, and
what stage of the plan you are up to. Include any dead-ends you may have followed, decisions
made, and changes that have been made to the project plan. This will need to include a
significant amount of detail, so that it is easily seen what precisely you have done and are
planning to do.

Scope: Has the scope of your project changed? Have you experienced “scope creep”? Have
you had to reduce or shift the scope of your project?
Progress: Describe your progress relative to your timetable. Was the project on schedule?
Have you made any changes to the schedule?
Testing: What testing has been performed? What were the outcomes? Has this resulted in any
changes? Have any of your plans for testing changed during the project? As this report is
about the final product, some testing should have been done at this point and you will need to
expand on this section
Tools and Technologies: You described initially what tools and technologies you would be
using. What tools and technologies have you actually used? You need to be precise here;
imagine that this is a specification for another group to follow.
There is no set length for this section, but it is hard to believe that less than two pages could be
adequate.
Project Outcomes
Present your project outcomes coherently
Differentiate between those that are fully functional and somewhat functional.
You should also mention outcomes that are/were still in development but needed to be
dropped and those that could not be even started.
You may also include non technical outcomes such as mockup/designs.
For all non (fully/somewhat) functional outcomes explain if and how they are crucial to your
product or if the product is more-or-less usable as is and justify why.
Include (a reasonable number of) User Interface screenshots for functional outcomes and
capture of source-code, mockups, etc. for other.
There is no set length for this section, but it is hard to believe that less than 1 full page could be
adequate.
Final Learning
You will combine the two sections of the previous Interim Report, i.e., “Challenges and Learning”
and “Project Processes” here, by providing the information as suggested below. As the section’s
name indicates, this section really aims at providing a final reflection on what have you been
through and ultimately learned from them (some memorable take-aways at the end of your BITS
journey that you will want to look back 2-3 years after). Keep this section concise and no need to
include fine details like who did what at what time (perhaps to a maximum of 2-3 pages containing

only the key lessons learned).
You were encouraged to attempt a challenging project, and one that should stretch your abilities in
some way. It is difficult to see how you would learn much from a project is well within your comfort
zone. In this section you should describe what the challenges have been, how you have
addressed them, and what you have learned from them.
How challenging has it been? What have you found easy? What have you found difficult? Was
this what you expected? In what ways have you been stretched? Note that these challenges
maybe different for each person in the group; be specific about this, not just that “the group
found it challenging”.
What were you expecting the challenges to be? Have these turned out as expected? What
obstacles or road blocks have you faced? What have you done to address these? Have these
been overcome?
What have you learned? Have you developed any new skills? Or new experience? This may
include ideas that haven’t worked out, such as using a particular tool, but finding that it won’t
work in the way you anticipated. This kind of experience is often a very useful sideproduct of
exploring dead-ends.
“Plans change” said Thorin Oakenshield. Has yours changed? (Note that you plans can
change in more ways that just the timetable, such as your aim and/or goals changing, or roles
changing, or reacting to unanticipated events). Would you make any changes to your plan
now? Have things turned out as you expected? What would you do differently if you had your
time over again?
Has your timetable been realistic? What would you change in your timetable, knowing what
you do now? How likely are you to keep to your timetable for the rest of the project? Justify and
explain your answer.
Have the tools and technologies worked out as expected? Have any of the risks you identified
occurred? Have there been any unanticipated events that have a affected your progress?
What were the group’s processes for communication? How effective have these been? Have
there been any changes in these since the start of the semester?
From your experience in this project, what is the most important aspect of organizing a project
of this nature? Is there anything that you would do differently if you were to start again?
What advice would you give to a group about to embark on a similar project?

This section is a direct update from the previous report, make sure you take into account the
feedback you received.
How would you summarise your project? What would be your “elevator description” ?
This is intended as a potential piece of publicity for your project. You should see this as a chance
to “sell” your idea to a potential investor. Hence assume that the person reading this section knows
absolutely nothing about your project. Do not make statements here like “We have worked well
together as a team.” A potential investor would presumably wonder why you were saying that, as if
there would be any doubt. The idea is to market what you have achieved, not to evaluate whether
your group is working well together.
Two paragraphs that can be delivered/read in 1-2 minutes are expected here.
