1
 Defining the business problem, preparing the Statement of Work, and gaining approval from the client, students and School.
2
 Identification of the data sources and articulating the extract, transform and load process.
3
 Detailed information on the methodologies and technologies to be deployed.
4
  Agreement on deliverables.
5
 Initial presentation of the deliverables for review and feedback.
6
 Final presentation to all stakeholders.

GUIDELINES

  • All intellectual property created by the students is the property of the client. The School does not retain any ownership or rights.
  • There are three agreements that are executed: the agreement between Schulich and the client, the NDA between Schulich and the client, and the NDA between the student and the client.
  • The client is provided with resumes and assisted in selecting the right students to support their project objectives.
  • The client is invoiced 50% when the Statement of Work is agreed to by all parties. The remaining 50% is invoiced when the final deliverable is presented to the client.
