Conclusion

We would like to finish by reminding everyone that the purpose of our

presentation is to enhance the idea of the obstacles that is facing us

through our project, the errands we have completed so far and the remains

to be done. We don’t know how much energy required accomplishing this

project but we know that together we can create the synergy needed to

provide the best opportunities for success. Any project builds on trust will

help meeting efficiently the requirements and reaching definitely the team’s

goal. “Yes we can “like president Obama said.
