Your team will hold a gate review with your guide at the end of each semester. This page should document any information needed for the review, as well as outcomes.

MSD I: Readiness to move to Build & Test

Status Review

Current state of the project

We feel that a critical design review is necessary as our guide is changing and our team should explain our status and plans to him.

Our current project is in line, or will be in line at the end of winter break, with our initial plan.
- We are ahead of the curve in terms of software updates and new software
- Our design is laid out in terms of software and hardware (excluding the battery pack)
- We will need to conduct thermal analysis on our battery prior to integration in our circuit

Individual team member status:
- We were all able to deliver on our requirements.
- We followed our plan and feel that it was a realistic plan.

Our most pressing risk has to do with battery heat.
- We will remedy this situation through the use of thermal analysis for proper use
- We will also address failed use potentially through the integration of a fuse into our design.

Review your team's MSD II schedule

We have a majority of our components being ordered
We will be able to record motion data with the old prototype to ensure Team P19045 has data
We will then update Team P19045 with data gathered from our device upon completion

Deliverables Checklist and Website Status

Each Deliverable we have created has been uploaded onto Edge in the public or private folders.

MSD II: Project close-out

Use this space to organize information for your review. Key elements are listed here

Expectations

All team members present and prepared to report on team and individual status.
All team MSD deliverables are complete and uploaded, and ready to be graded.
Guide is present and prepared to evaluate all items included in the review.
Review should take about an hour.

Status Review

Current state of the project

Summarize actual performance vs. requirements (include snapshot of current requirements document here, along with a link to the live document.).
- Which requirements were unmet, and why?
- How robust is your final design?
- Did you meet your project budget?
- What was your customer's assessment of the work you delivered to them? Were they satisfied?

Compare your current project plan/schedule to your original plan/schedule.
- Did the scope of your project change during MSD II?
- How and why did your schedule change during MSD II?
- What have you learned from these changes that you can apply to future projects?

Review individual team member status.
- Did you deliver on your personal responsibilities?
- Did you use your MSD II plan effectively? Was it realistic? If not already addressed above, what did you learn from this and how can you apply it to future projects?

Review your current risk assessment and problem solving status.
- Have you closed out your most important risks?
- Were there risks that you did not anticipate? If so, what do you think the reason is?
- Did any anticipated risks manifest themselves as problems?
- How did you use your problem solving process during the semester?

Deliverables Checklist and Website Status

All documents must be uploaded to your website in advance of the Gate Review.
The team should not use gate review time to conduct a detailed examination of specific deliverables unless related to discussion items in the status review.
Is prototype hand-off complete, is the team's workspace cleaned up, and have all tools been returned?

Lessons learned, etc.
