Capstone Scope

The final capstone is an esports organization or event package. Scope control matters. A small complete project is better than a huge vague one.

Scope Boundary

A good capstone names the audience, event or team format, required roles, evidence artifacts, risk controls, and final report. It does not need a perfect live event. It needs a defensible plan and evidence that the team can operate it.

Worked Example

Weak scope: "Run an esports tournament."

Better scope: "Design a four-team after-school Rocket League event with bracket rules, production checklist, conduct plan, role chart, and post-event review packet."

Artifact: Capstone Scope Card

Write the project title, audience, format, roles, artifacts, and one risk.

Common Failure

Do not choose a capstone that requires accounts, games, equipment, or permissions the class cannot actually access.

Check

The scope is ready if the team can start building artifacts immediately.
