• Tell briefly about technologies, architecture, best work practices & tools, and the quality of the product and project.
  
• The winner is decided before the gala, i.e. this presentation no more affects the selection.

Accenture Quality Award

• One of the project teams will win the Accenture Quality Award. The criteria used for selecting the winner are described in Accenture's Lecture 1 slides. 
• Five Quality Award finalists will be selected based on the earned course points after the Project Review 2. One additional finalist can be selected later by the coaches, if some team clearly deserves to be among the finalists.
• The Quality Award jury participates in the Project Review 3 of all the finalists and selects the winner after the reviews. The jury consists of a few people from Accenture and Aalto. 
• Top-3 teams will be invited to give a presentation to all the students in the Software Project and Quality Award Gala. The winner will be announced in the Gala.
