All groups have made good attempt. Here are some lessons for the groups that will present on Wednesday..
- Give a short comparison table of features at the beginning and then expand on the features and comparisons.
- Plan carefully the time available to you. About 2 minutes for each student. Having more than 3 slides per students will be difficult.
- Although you can not download SAP ByD presentations for detailed study of ByD, at this stage very high level understanding that you get from the features list in the spreadsheet is good enough.
The last date of submission of assignments is 9th February.
