Project 3 Pitch Guidelines

🏑 Pitch Guidelines: Project 3

Below are the instructions and guidelines for pitching your Project 3 as a team. Please read through each section, and then spend time together (about an hour) crafting, refining, and practicing your pitch.

Instructions:

Your team will be given ten minutes to pitch your idea to the instructional staff. This pitch should include both a verbal pitch, and also a short written memo (instructions below) provided to the instructional team to read before your meeting time.

Meetings are the best

Please read the guidelines below on what should be included in your pitch, and how the ten minutes you will be given should be used.

If you have any additional questions please reach out to instructional team over Slack.

Written Memo Format:

Your written memo should be provided to instructional staff before your pitch meeting (you have up until ten minutes before your assigned pitch meeting time to send it). This memo should be written in Google Docs, and then shared with the instructional staff's emails ([e-mail] and [e-mail]).

The memo should contain the following information in an outline format:

1. Your team name

2. Each team member's assigned role

3. Your elevator pitch for your website

4. Your user stories

5. What tech stack you plan on using

6. What your current status is on the project

7. What your plan is for each day of the project work time, preferably broken down into daily sprints.
