The session should be documented as follows: a small report (1-2 pages) with the following items are prepared and signed by the audience part of the Team: Topic of the session. Evaluation of the session, both relevance of the topic in relation to the Business idea and planning and implementation of the session. The material used in the session is enclosed. Each teaching session should bring the rest of your Team up-to-level on a subject where you are expert. The topic of the session should be relevant to the business idea your Team is working on.
