- intended use scenarios written
- begin physical testing feasibility with team members
- project plan updated
- risk management updated
- problem matrix updated
- EDGE updated
- document design changes (ongoing)
- assembly of subsystems
- assembly instructions refined and documented
- user testing plan refined
- finalize BOM
- update budget document

Budget Analysis
Risk and Problem Tracking
Risk Assessment
Risk Number | Description | Reason for Change | Impact |
---|---|---|---|
16 | wrong parts ordered/shipped | team kept on top of which parts to order and hasn't had to return any yet (very careful about selecting correct part numbers and kept track of shipping) | -4 |
18 | team doesn't have all required skills to complete the project | design refinement was broken up based on skills to complete tasks thoroughly and on time | -5 |
21 | can't meet with users/aids until much later | Mary Cariola willing to let us use testing site as soon as possible, Joe allowing us to hopefully meet with his students through permission of parents | -40 |
23 | team doesn't have access to needed tools and equipment | finally resolved 3D printing facility issues, parts in machine for use to avoid purchasing them | -25 |
29/30 | research/testing paperwork delays meetings with potential users | IRB paperwork accepted but only for Mary Cariola testing facilities | -21 |
25 | team doesn't have proper facility/prospective users to test the product on | Mary Cariola site is too small and users are outside of target range (besides 5 or 6 children) | +40 |
