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 most significant risk is that for the interim demo, when we go to integrate our hardware and separate software services, it won’t work; however, I do think we will be able to have our parts working such that each thing can work in its own, and we are working to. We are mitigating some of these risk but splitting up tasks more so that one person is not struggling to finish everything at once. Currently, our plan is to haven’t everything working at a very base level; however, if we are unable to integrate, then together/ don’t have time, we will still show that they work separately, and we will integrate after the interim demo.
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?
We currently don’t have any major changes to the design except that we now want a bigger screen the cost should not be to significant as the screen only costs around $20. We did get some responses to our design report in regards to it not being as fleshed out as it should be for certain things such as design requirements and data to justify why we are working on adding more justification.
Provide an updated schedule if changes have occurred. This is also the place to put some photos of your progress or to brag about a component you got working.
This week we met as a group and decided that our current screen is smaller than we want it to be for our project, so we have pivoted from a circular screen to a rectangular screen. Additionally with the intern demo coming up we have split up the work a bit more in terms of the software and what each of us needs to do for the project.
No changes to our schedule.
