What is the impact(20%) of the created solution for our
company’s Users/Employees?
What’s the solution? (60%)
What is the Design used?(25%) There could be multiple
solutions to a problem, what solution you have chosen? Is it using
existing libraries(preferred), if it’s using any of the other
software/libraries then what’s the justification for the same? For
eg: If you want to build something using a recommendation engine
then you need to have good justification in case you plan to use
something other than our own engine. Also, this is to encourage
participants to really understand the problem well and then choose
technology wisely than choosing the Tech Stack first and then
moulding the problem to fit into Tech Stack. The latter approach
will reduce your marks.
Production Readiness(30%) of the Project: How
production-ready the problem solution is? Can we take it to live
on our ecosystem as it is? If not how much more effort does one
need to put in to take it to live? The more production-ready the
solution is, the more marks you will get.
What did you learn(5%) for building this project?
Selling Your Idea(10%)
This is equally important as the creation of a fabulous product.
If you have built a super awesome product make sure that you are
able to convince the judges of the same. The judges will be very
much passive during the judging and it’s your responsibility to
convey the magnanimity and effectiveness of the solution to
judges. Demonstrate the use cases that the solution covers.
Note: No weightage is assigned to code quality/conventions, unit
tests, etc…but make sure to follow a good level of
quality/convention standards as we want your product to go live
ASAP.
