Project Definition and Selection Process • Objectives & Strategy • Explore the feasibility of the 3 Possible Projects from Lab 1A • Entertain a min of 1 more potential project idea from your team • Identify and document a potential block diagram for each potential project • Down Select to a Single Recommendation by evaluating the “Attributes of Good 595 Projects” in a systematic fashion • Discuss Your Project Selection Process • For the Selected Project: • Document Initial Version of Product Level Standard Requirements • Document Initial Version of Product Level Performance Requirements
Project Definition and Selection Process • Deliverables (Paper and Electronic) • Powerpoint slide set used for “P1” which captures • 3 Project Proposals including block diagrams • Selection Process including systematic scoring system (See Following Pages) • Recommended Project (See Following Pages) • Refined Block Diagram (See Following Pages) • Perf Requirements (See Following Pages) • Std Requirements (See Following Pages) • Basic Business Case
Project Selection • Slide(s) to Describe your Overall Selection Process • Overall, why was this project selected? • What are the major risks in the project? • Why were other projects rejected • Was this unanimously supported on your team? If not, what were the objection raised.
Proposed Product • 1 Slide to further describe the Proposed Selected Product • High Level Definition • User Requirements Bullet form plus optional pictures (competitive pictures) • What exactly is the product? • What is the primary benefit to the user? • What is the intended application of the product? • What claims can be made with regard to the product? • Are there similar or identical products of this type on the market? • What major industry family does the product belong to? (ie; aerospace, automotive, consumer, telecom, etc,)
Refined Block Diagram Slide(s) • 1 to 2 Slides showing refined Block Diagram • Shows ALL external electrical & user interfaces • Shows ALL external power inputs & outputs • Shows overall mechanical envelope (package) • Shows unique design block ownership (color, names) • Shows ALL block-block electrical interfaces • Shows blocks belonging to individual PCBs (dotted lines) • Shows Total # of circuit boards • Shows power distribution to all applicable blocks Mandatory Required Later
System Level Requirements Slides • Multiple Slides • List and Quantify as many Perf Requirements as you can • Performance Reqs: Differentiate, Features/Modes, Unique to project • List and Quantify as many Std Requirements as you can • Standard Reqs: Common, Mandatory for all projects • All Standard Requirements must be Quantified
