Project Management 

Guidelines for Weekly Progress Reports

• • Weekly Progress Reports (see sidebar), the Gantt chart, and this Project Management page should be printed out before meetings with the sponsor and instructor.

  • All team members should be able to explain all items on the progress report.

  • Place a "*" at the beginning of the title of the active week Progress Report (see * in sidebar).

Gantt Chart

Project Objectives

High Priority Objectives

• Problem solving overall design of modular free standing structure

  • Produce a series of scale models that reflect this process

• Problem solving quick construction approaches to deploy structure

  • Construct full scale units to demonstrate connection functionality

• Problem solving structural integrity/safetry of complete free standing structure

  • Produce analysis and tests to reflect this process

Second Priority Objectives

• Complete a 20' x 20' x 20' structure

• Simplify the process of connecting units to final form

• Consider incoporation of other materials

Other Constraints and Issues

• Use of green material

• Structure is to be deployed outside

• Structure is to be deployed in public space

WOW Design Solution

To design and construct a fully collapsible, easily transportable 20' x 20' x 20' structure that expands to a fully functioning multi-use pavilion

Risk Reduction Strategy

• Safety related both to structure and construction process

• Efficient plan for materials processing, testing, and construction

• Structural integrity of final structure

Intermediate Milestones

• Individual scale model designs refined

• Shared design selected and improved

• Full scale unit designed, constructed, and tested

• Safety analysis performed

• Fabrication of all units complete

• Final pavilion construction

Individual Component Analysis

• Collapsibility

• Materials

• Structure of bottom portion of the support of Statue of Liberty

• Fasteners
