You are an essential part of the Capstone process, and as such you help Capstone to carry out BYU's mission [https: aims.byu.edu/]. Coach responsibilities fall in two categories: mentoring students and facilitating sponsor relationships with students. While projects and sponsor relationships are important, your top priority is the welfare and development of the students in your stewardship.
===Mentoring Students===
Your mentoring has many different dimensions—about people and about the project. We have broken this up into four sections that you can examine, which describe major elements of your mentoring:
*Mentoring Individuals
*Mentoring in Team Dynamic
*Mentoring on the Product Development Process
*Mentoring the Team Throughout the Project
===Interactions with Sponsors===
Your interactions with your sponsor can have a significant influence on the success of your project. Working With Sponsors provides some suggestions for how to get the best results from your sponsor interactions.
===How Long Should All this Take?===
