What are the most significant risks that could jeopardize the success of the project? How are these risks being managed? What contingency plans are ready?
Our key concern for our project continues to be integrating the Bluetooth modules for the software and hardware portions of our project. As we are running behind schedule according to our Gantt Chart, we have been left with less time than previously planned for combing our work and testing the final product.
Were any changes made to the existing design of the system (requirements, block diagram, system spec, etc)? Why was this change necessary, what costs does the change incur, and how will these costs be mitigated going forward? Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred.
Whilst we have not made any major changes to our overall design, we have decided to prioritise working on our MVP LED Matrix Device. Previously we were working on both the LED Matrix and our stretch goal, the LCD Screen, in parallel, however as all of our group members have had a busy semester, we have collectively decided to focus on producing a single, functional final product.
Please enumerate how you have adjusted your team work assignments to fill in gaps related to either new design challenges or team shortfalls.
