The lesson

Delivering a project is more than finishing the code. The client or supervisor needs to see it working, understand how to run it, and trust that it handles real data.

Prepare a short handover note: what the program does, how to install and run it, where the data goes, and known limitations. Test on data you have not seen before; real data always contains surprises.

During the demonstration, show a normal run, an error case and the log or output files. Answer questions honestly — 'I would handle that next' is better than guessing.

Step by step

  1. Run your project from a fresh clone using the README.
  2. Run it on the unseen test data and note any problems.
  3. Write the handover note.
  4. Deliver the demonstration and answer questions.

Practice activity

Demonstrate the level project, including a run on unseen test data supplied on the day.

Expected result: A working project demonstrated on unseen data, with a short handover note.

    So the client knows what the tool does not do and can plan around it, which builds trust.
