Mid-Project Report

A report on the project is required at the end of Fall semester. What has the team accomplished and what is the plan for Spring semester. The report should address technical, market and financial feasibility of the proposed product.

Much of the report can be realized by stapling together the documents you have turned in all semester with some overall editing to make it stand together as a whole, and an executive summary at the start.

One (more if requested) hard copy should be delivered to your client at the Mid-Project Review. CD copies should be delivered to all attendees of the MP Review, and to all course faculty.
