We pledge our honor that we have abided by the Stevens Honor System.
Assignment 11.1:
Refine the system and process diagrams in Assignment 6 based on Assignments 7-10
System Model(s):
Process Model(s):
After completing assignments 7-10 we were able to confirm that our original approach to our problem, designing a smart baby monitor equipped with environmental sensors, was the best approach to take to meet our design objectives. Due to this our system and process models did not change dramatically from assignment 6 to this assignment. However, we improved our system models to be more descriptive and to showcase more features of our design. Additionally, we tweaked our process model to be more descriptive. Initially, when completing assignment 6 we had submitted a flowchart that described our design process as our process model. But, after receiving feedback, we realized describing the design process was not what was expected in a process model so we updated our assignment 6 process model to a flowchart that describes how our system works.
Assignment 11.2:
Create a Gantt chart for this project
Our Gantt chart shows the estimated timeline our group would need to complete this project. This time is about 10.5 months total. Our tasks that we need to complete are broken into 5 sections: Planning + Research, Design, Implementation, Testing, and Product Release. We are currently about midway through the Planning + Research phase right now as we have conducted research and started to develop a solution model. This means that we need approximately 9-9.5 months to complete our project. We are happy with this timeline since we feel that it gives us enough time to comprehensively complete all tasks and have a working product by the end of the 2025-2026 school year.
