This means that your presentation should be delivered in a manner and use a language that your client will be able to understand. It should include a general overview of your design and how it meets the specified business goals and may discuss specific technical design issues or trade-offs that you have made in your design.
Network Engineering / Systems Administration students, your presentation should also include a short proof of concept/prototype demonstration that makes it clear that you are on track to deliver a fully working solution in ITC308.
An electronic copy of the templates for the Design Document and Presentation can be found in the resources section of the ITC306 Interact site.
Network Engineering / Systems administration
Final Solution Design Documentation and Proof of Concept Prototype PresentationYou are required to submit a revised Solution Design Document based on the feedback from Assessment Item 3. This assessment item is your final Design Document documenting the entire solution that you propose for your project. You should now be able to implement your project based on this Design Document.
Please note you are allowed to work in group/team to develop a solution and encouraged to submit a single assessment. However please note that you will be assessed individually based on your performance.
