Each team should have project charter and other documents finalized by now. Kimmer will review/grade. "Finalized" doesn't mean your documents can't change before you show them to the stakeholders. It means that the drafts are appropriate for a professional project based on feedback given throughout I494 and that the document repository is suitably organized, etc. Second Individual Status Update Due |

Each team will give the others a snapshot of their design efforts. What process has been followed? What designs are being considered, or is the design finalized? How is it being implemented in the CMS? Are there are any problems the team is facing? Soliciting feedback and brainstorming with the other teams is encouraged rather than a dog-and-pony show that is presented as a fait accompli. |

How's the project coming along? The goal is to have it completed in the next 1-2 weeks after this presntation, so each team should give an overview of their efforts so far and what's left. Are there any roadblocks that other teams can help troubleshoot or recommend solutions to based on their efforts? Discussion among teams is much more interesting than staring at PowerPoint. |
