Today was a somewhat stressful and nervous day for we had our presentation for our alpha.
We have come pretty far with our game compared to some other teams and we are pretty happy about that. But since our programmer had a super busy schedule with all his work i wanted to pick a good day for him where we could meet and plan our presentation well. We ended up picking the day before the presentation to put together our power point presentation. This was also a good time to have a regular meeting with the team to go through what has been done so far since Monday for out sprint. We ended up picking 13:00 yesterday to meet and get everything done. As mentioned in my previous blog, we do have some problems with one person coming late, which of course happened this time too. We started of with our team meeting and checking if anyone needed help with anything for our sprint deadline on Friday. It seemed the programmers had gotten pretty far with their work so we were able to get started with our presentation very quick. We wanted to make sure we didn’t talk too long and bore people with information they don’t care about. The important things that we needed to have in the presentation were put on the slides and made sure it looked nice. Since I am the project manager it was important for me to take the first slides and introduce the group and it’s roles within. Apart from the first slides we decided to divide up the rest of the slides so everyone could talk. I let my team members pick which ever slide they wanted to talk about mostly because some people had more to say about certain things. Especially when it comes to our programmers, they were the ones who had some things they were not satisfied with and they wanted to describe that, so they took those slides. It took us a few hours to put it all together including a nice recording of our game play that showed everything we needed plus a death too.
The day of presentation we ended up all being on time for the most part. The programmers and designers had actually made a improvement on the game the night before so we ended up not using the slide where we had prerecorded our game but instead started the game and played it instead. We were the last team to present which kept us nervous the entire time. Everyone ended up presenting their slide really nicely and I couldn’t be happier about that. Except that i mistakenly said i was the programmer as i tried to say producer, it went good for me too. This was quickly corrected with a little laugh from the audience.
It was a productive day with these presentations and now i have a much better insight on how far other teams have gotten and how much we need to catch up.
