Today was our green light presentation which went smoothly. The team presenting before us had technical difficulties and had to stop presenting which gave us a slight advantage. One of my challenges for presentations is that I get nervous and when I get nervous I talk fast. I had to remind myself to talk slow because English isn't the audiences first language and they are hearing this story for the first time.
Our manager had the idea of having t-shirts with our logo to promote the team. It was a success because we were the only team to wear something with our project on it. After the presentations we had a coaching to hear if we get a green light or not. Looking back I can laugh but at the time I was so disappointed. The coaches started off by saying that "at least the t-shirts were cool". My stomach dropped when they said this. I thought the presentation went alright. However we were missing a map or doll house illustration of the game. I had asked one team member to create this number of times but they said they needed to work on the mechanics instead. Without this map the audience couldn't see the big picture, only the details. So after ten minutes of telling us everything wrong they eventually told us that "you're fine, you got a green light"! It was an interesting scare tactic. Now we can move forward and start the production phase which I am a little nervous for
