Context: your Team Management Plan + Deliverables submissions and flashtalks, and the feedback you received.

Add this point to your next team meeting agenda:

Discuss what went well and and what could be better. How will our team improve?

Is your team delivering high-quality work?
Do you need to re-read the capstone guidelines?
Should you seek more feedback or guidance from your - client/advisor?
Does your team need to share work earlier so everyone can revise?
Do you need to establish new expectations or ground rules in your team management plan?

A single-document draft of the DIP including:

Draft of DIP Solution Design - Data Management Plan and Documentation Plan sections
Updates for all other sections you’ve drafted so far
Title page, budget and budget justification, and references section
In summary: everything in the DIP except for the testing plan and executive summary

Allocate enough time discuss the Data Management Plan with your team and write it. This is one of the longer sections in the DIP.
Remember to always read the Capstone Guidelines first if you have questions about how to write any of the DIP sections!
Check the DIP length requirements in the Capstone Guidelines and start discussing with your team whether you’ll need to shorten it by 2/9.

We’ll have 1-1 meetings February 12-16 to check how everything is going. Please book a 15-minute slot to meet in my calendar.

Location: Manzanita room at NCEAS.
