The most important risk now is not certain whether a task can be finished or not by each team member since everything is pretty abstract now. We are actively communicating ideas in our chat group and after each class, following the Gantt chart we created during the proposal.
After the proposal presentation, we realized certain things our team lacked. In our design, we agreed to include more details including diagrams and hardware specifications in our presentations. We also realized that our solution approach section in the presentation should be more related to how the entire system is structured rather than solutions to a few technical challenges. In the use case explanations, we realized that we focused too much on an engineer’s perspective rather than a real user’s perspective. In the next discussion on creating design presentations, we are going to modify our use case requirements.
We also need to figure out how those components we mentioned there will interact with each other, speficially, what kind of data should be transmitted from one part to another part, and what should each part act in different scenarios. The team is discussing a flow chart to clarify this and we think we will present a flow chart for design presentation.
Since the team is still working on the initial design, we don’t have much update available. We believe our progress are on schedule and no update is needed.
