5. Content Summary of Final Design Package
This section of the Executive Summary should include a list of the contents of your Final Design Package and a brief (one sentence) summary of what the purpose of the artifact is.
Your Final Design Package should include all the documentation that will be transferred to your sponsor to understand all your work, be able to recreate all of your designs, and move forward to the next steps. Anything that would be useful or needed by someone who picks up your project and continues development should be included in your Final Design Package. You should have coordinated with your sponsor to ensure that you have included all documentation that they will need and in the format that works for them. Specific documentation (in no particular order) might include the following based on your project:
- polished engineering drawings (assembly and component drawings)
- System architecture
- API documentation
- BOM
- SBOM
- well-documented code in a Github repository (access provided to sponsor)
