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).
Project Objectives
Concisely list and prioritize the project objectives and constraints
High Priority Objectives
Quick Release System for Anderson SB 50 Connectors and Banana Clips
Electrical data acquisition system "myRio" installed within vehicle
Second Priority Objectives
Strengthening the base located in the back of vehicle
Assistance in data acquistion
Collecting headwind and acceleration
wind sensor
pitot tube sensor
Punching two D sub 25 connectors cutouts for all 32 battery covers
Addition of 2 more batteries into vehicle
Other Constraints and Issues
Necessary to create at least 16 of the quick release system (vehicle currently holds 16 modular batteries maximum)
Different tolerances for each individual Anderson SB 50 connectors and Banana Clips
WOW Design Solution
Auto removal button for Anderson SB 50 Connectors and Banana Clips
Risk Reduction Strategy
List areas of risk and strategy that will be used to eliminate risk really in the design process.
Prototype design for slide/quick release system for SB 50 connectors and Banana Clips
Method to measure wind speed and acceleration
continuous measurements
wind sensor?
pitot tube sensor
GPS
difficulty level of hook up to "MyRio"
Sourcing the noise coming from the back of the vehicle
remove batteries situated in back of vehicle and then drive the vehicle
Intermediate Milestones
Identifying meaningful intermediate milestones is a critical for effective project management. Together with your sponsor identify such milestones, and specify specific performance requirements you aim to meet at each milestone.
