This week, I presented our design proposal in class with our updated key design decisions. We also started writing the final report on the detailed design of our project. However, we did not make significant progress yet since the design proposal feedback was only sent yesterday.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
Our original schedule did not take into account the entire design review process, so by our original Gantt chart, we are behind.
As a result, I updated our Gantt chart to take the adjustments in schedule into consideration. I realized that some tasks I indicated on the chart will not require as much time as I expected like assembling the circuit, so I adjusted the chart accordingly.
Planning out the entire schedule was quite difficult since we did not properly look into the exact timeline of the design report. I also failed to take into account Spring Break, so I had to make some adjustments to the schedule. I expect that we’ll have to adjust the schedule again since some tasks may end up taking longer than expected in the future. The key is to perform as many parallel tasks as possible if the schedule needs to be adjusted.
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
In the next week, I hope to finalize and submit the design report.
