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 the items on the progress report.
Place a "*" at the beginning of the title of the active week Progress Report (see * in the sidebar).
Project Objectives
High Priority Objectives
Design a wearable system (thermal sensor camera + battery source + processor + glasses with display)
Second Priority Objectives
Test the capbility of the thermal sensor
Calibrate the sensor to the most optimal working condition
Other Constraints and Issues
Team member in-person meeting constraint due to quarantine
Unfamiliar to the python interface and coding
WOW Design Solution
Design a waist belt which hold the battery source and processor in place, then use a wire both battery source and processor to the thermal sensor camera and glasses.
Risk Reduction Strategy
List areas of risk and strategy that will be used to eliminate risk really in the design process.
Risks
The connection between the compoents(battery source, processor, thermal sensor camera and glasses displayer)
If the battery is powerful enough to supply power to the system 5 hours per day
Resolution and the reliability of the thermal sensor camera
The thermal sensor camera might be too heavy for attaching it with glasses which caused uncomfortable for the user
The glasses are comfortable to people to wear for hours and the wearable system must not be too heavy
Sensor might be overheat after using it a long period time
Strategies to eliminate
Mulitple testings of the prototype
Purchase a large capacity external battery
Wear the prototype for hours while working out and determine which part of the glasses and wearable system is causing user uncomfortable situation and add plenty of paddings on those areas
Intermediate Milestones
Identifying meaningful intermediate milestones is critical for effective project management. Together with your sponsor identify such milestones, and specify specific performance requirements you aim to meet at each milestone.
