Meeting Goals¶

To effectively and rapidly communicate with your Client, Chief Engineer and Project Engineer.
Topics include:

• Project progress since last meeting
• Accomplishments of team
• Challenges encountered and plan to move past them

Tips and Tricks¶

• TAKE NOTES
• Use numbered list for easier reference during discussion - objectives, questions, etc...
• 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 slides from Client Meeting #2 or #3.
    • If there are NO CHANGES, move these slides to Appendix in case new client participants attend the meeting and need this information.
  • Project Status rows are the Deliverables from the EDN Gantt chart. No more / no less!
  • Pull slide content on System Architecture, Technical Progress, Test Plan, Accomplishments, etc. from forum posts, design artifacts, and System Design Report in Repository.
• Be sure to include supporting evidence for all your engineering decisions! Otherwise they are only opinions.
• Proofread and spell check slides.
• Take notes (We know we repeated this. It's important).
• The team member who did the work should create and narrate the slide(s) showing their results.
• Review tips for Creating Strong PowerPoint Presentations.
• Be mindful of Design Lab's Generative AI policy.
• Be mindful of Design Lab's Late Policy.
