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
Low-speed cameras identifies the object
Codes calculate accurate world coordinates of the object using triangulation
Galvo mirrors steer to track the object
Second Priority Objectives
Focal length adjusts automatically
Other Constraints and Issues
Lighting condition of arena
Computer performance
WOW Design Solution
Ask what would their dream design solution would be like. You may not achieve this, but it is good to know what it would be like.
Risk Reduction Strategy
List areas of risk and strategy that will be used to eliminate risk really in the design process.
Orientation of low-speed cameras
Laser alignment of galvo mirrors
LED testing
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.
Framework setup and arena cameras mounted in appropriate orientations
Image acquiring
Triangulation codes to determine the coordinates of the object
Galvo_camera assembly mounted on the breadboard
Galvo able to rotate according to the voltage feedback signals
LED tracking
