# Deliver Like a Pro

![](/files/-MB5uD_bvtLi4SeuHsvD)

You and your other team members will create a lot of valuable things for the client in these 4 weeks. It's important that they get to see it, use and reuse it (we are *open*!).

That's why you, as a student, are responsible to make sure you gather and communicate about this!

## Most important

### 1. Make sure you ship something.

Make it something you'll be proud of, and you can show off in your portfolio 😎

![Showing something that works on the demo day is key.](/files/-MB5ujBxH2Fy_nnbCARf)

### 2. Make sure your client can find & reuse that ship.

Gather everything, document it well and make sure they can find out about where to find everything (in the team's deliverables folder) via a handover email at the end of osoc.

![It can only work when it’s well-documented, and when the vision is crystal-clear.](/files/-MB5uz6eVGxSK_MMhTit)

### 3. Make the ship discoverable & traceable for interested audiences.

Make sure your project can survive on the internet, and you can refer to it in your portfolio. A link that can won't suddenly be taken down, like for instance on [Github Pages](/global/tutorials/how-to-deliver-like-a-pro/publishing-a-github-page.md), will help you here.

### 4. Support future teams by giving them the 411 in advance.

![Good documentation, assets & guidance help future teams.](/files/-MB5vIaAfz8OYILXnffH)

Giving someone the 411 means you give them all context and updates they need to hit the ground running; to make sure that they are as informed as possible. It definitely is possible your project returns next year.

So if you are working on a project that has been around the year before, make sure you get your hands on that information!

## The checklist

![We created a deliverable checklist  to help teams accomplish these steps. ](/files/-MB5vT3QH6Z8DiKbM_kd)

Step 1: Go to your **project page** and find the link under "**File Storage**"

![Go to your project page; for example ABB](/files/-MdnecQSF_gWFBb_BJ6P)

Step 2: Go to **Deliverables**

![There's a folder called "Deliverables"](/files/-Mdnes2hiqxzEqJyqSu4)

Step 3: Find the deliverables **checklist**

![Find the excel with the expected deliverables!](/files/-MdnetQTT4xD9abG1g3U)

Step 4: Start **checking** boxes!

## Some help

![There are some templates, examples & guidelines to help you out.](/files/-MB5xkrfzxfJeq5VwIjG)

### The Handover Dossier

**Gather all the knowledge of the team’s project in this dossier.**\
This will help the client understand what kind ship the team has built, how they got to that ship, and where to find everything.

* Find the template in your team folder
* Find examples of the handover dossier here <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16z6e39rb6t7AAgYl0InFLsG09o8BI3BC?usp=sharing>

### Github Pages

**The internet is volatile. Things disappear. Your effort should not.**\
We want to make sure the project remains findable & traceable even after it’s removed from its domain name, and is still legible by people that don't want to dive in the code.

![](/files/-MB6-zKO6chAjvSIjCGr)

* Find out how to [create a Github page](/global/tutorials/how-to-deliver-like-a-pro/publishing-a-github-page.md)
* Get access to a [template](/global/tutorials/how-to-deliver-like-a-pro/publishing-a-github-page.md#picking-a-template) \[[example](https://osoc20.github.io/gh-pages/)]

### The Other Deliverables

**Contacting press, user tests, ..**\
Not everything has a guide. But we have many coaches, student coaches and even students to help out. Get in touch!

### The Handover Email

Write a clear, professional email with a link to your deliverables at the end of open summer of code – and a kind goodbye.

### We use the last week to get it done

**Yes, it’s a lot. This is why we have the last week available to do that.** \
our team is not just to “code”, “write”, “business”. They are here to learn to see the bigger picture, create a project, to grow. It’ll help them do that!
