Meet with sponsor to time dry run (TEAM)
Individual Component Analyses
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Offered to show us a dry run of the full process from start to finish. Action: Setting up a meeting to observe/record this process as a team.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Comment: Work on risk reduction testing, focus on contributing in a meaningful way. Standard gaskets & valves exist to create pressured loading condition, so just buy one if needed.
Risks and Areas of Concern
The primary focus for our group right now is identifying a solution that meets the bare minimum requirements for improving the WinCF system process (a practically useful product by Week 5). One risk associated with this would be falling in love with a concept that is too simple and does not capitalize on the amount of freedom we have with this project.
A correlated risk (once we start thinking of more elaborate solutions) would be coming with a solution that is more complex than it needs to be.
