- Summary of background research. An edited, condensed compilation of your individual research providing background on your client / technology.
- Client: your initial proposal for your working process with your client as well as your final deliverables.
- Technology: your initial proposal for how best to apply / investigate the technology as well as your planned final deliverables.
- First take on project name. Your first efforts at a name / brand (don’t spend too much time on this yet, but make something so that you can iterate).
- Semester/Project organizational path. How you plan to tackle your project relative to all class assignments (with a focus on the major checkpoint items (wireframe/prototype, beta, final app).
- Challenge analysis and plan for resolution. Frogs to be swallowed: what your greatest challenges / largest potential roadblocks will be and how you’ll be starting work immediately to tackle them.
- Goals. Your reach / main / safety goals: what happens if everything goes better than expected, where you think you’ll land, and your minimum deliverable if everything hits the fan.
