PGEMP partner testimonials on capstone project | Shankar Krishnan

The capstone project is done from two perspectives. One reason for doing the capstone project is to benefit the individual in working with a team on a real-life problem toward the business objective. If the individual benefits, the team and the business benefit. This is a big benefit, and it has been a 7 or 8 out of 10 plus for most participants.

There are practical issues with taking capstone projects forward. The reality on the ground needs to be constant and relevant for 2-3 years. Teams disperse on completion of projects. That’s the reality of life. So it’s a mixed bag. Maybe it’s a 3 or 4 out of 10 from the organisational perspective, but it’s a 7 or 8 kind of benefit for the individuals.
