  • Label figures, use annotations to highlight what's important in images and graphs.
  • Build on prior work team has done.
    • Copy (and update) Project Overview slide from Client Meeting #2 or #3.
    • Pull Project Status information from EDN Gantt chart.
    • Pull slide content on System Architecture, Technical Progress, Test Plan, Accomplishments, etc. from forum posts and design artifacts in Repository.
