Create a single Google doc with the following information:

A detailed list of the sections (table of contents) your team will have in their Technical Documentation.
- Specify who is the audience for each section or group of sections.
- Explain what kind of user documentation you will create. Have a clear description of who the “user” for the document will be. Discuss this with your advisor.
A timeline to completion for your Technical Documentation taking into account the capstone deadlines. Consider making a Gantt chart, but also a list of dates and deliverables is ok. Tips:
- If you liked how we split up the DIP by sections per week, try implementing something similar.
- Write your executive summary and abstract last, your project might evolve along the quarter.

Prepare 4 slides covering:

Slide 1: A cover slide introducing your team
Slide 2: Your ABT elevator pitch telling us what your project is about (~ 40 s) Write down your elevator pitch on the slide.
Slide 3: Brief overview of project’s products and deliverables
Slide 4: Brief overview of your user documentation section: what it will be about and who is the target audience.

Pick a person or two who are ready to do a ~3 minute presentation next class

Add slides to shared folder Week 2 - Flash talks.

This is an informal presentation to get us back up to speed and introduce your projects to our TA.
Make sure your elevator pitch reflects the current objectives of your project, update it if needed.
Make sure your elevator pitch is crisp, short, and follows the ABT structure.
You should reuse, if possible, any slides you made last quarter.
