For your final deliverables of this project you will submit complete documentation of your proof of concept environment and the plans detailed in the requirements document. This documentation should be complete technical documentation with enough detail to allow the reader to reproduce your solution and understand why you made the configuration selections you did. There are some articles and tips linked in the Course Resources section on how to write successful documentation.
For your presentation you will provide a business targeted video presentation of how you addressed their requirements. This presentation should include some sort of visual aids\handouts and should not be overly technical in nature. Your presentation should be between 5 to 10 minutes long and you need to make sure to include any background information or assumptions that you needed even if the items do not directly correlate to a requirement.
