Presenting a project in a single block

A project comes across best when the problem, your role, the process and the result can be seen at a glance.

Say what you built in the title

A title that shows the result, such as “A web service for booking local events”, works better than “Graduation project”. Adding the dates and the number of people involved gives a sense of scale.

State your role in the first sentence

For a team project, state what you were responsible for first. Separating the parts you actually handled, such as planning, design, development or presenting, from what other team members did makes your contribution clear.

Describe the decisions you made along the way

Explain in one or two sentences what problem you ran into and why you chose your approach. This shows how you think and solve problems better than listing results alone.

End with results people can check

If you have links people can open themselves, such as a demo video, repository or presentation slides, include them. If the result cannot be made public, describe what kind of output it was and how it was used.
