Design Reviews Brad MillerAssociate Director, WPI Robotics Resource Center
Why Do Design Reviews • Gives the team intermediate milestones during the 6 weeks • Requires that critical parts of the project are completed • Helps involve the sponsor • Gives the students an opportunity to show off their work • Verify the design
Standard in Industry • Design reviews are required in any large project • Projects divided into phases • Exiting one phase and going to another requires a review from all the stakeholders
What Happens at Reviews • Preliminary Design Review • After the initial design and prototyping • Demonstrate your understanding of the game • Verify the design, show the prototypes • Get suggestions/concerns now before starting build • Critical Design Review • Robot mostly complete and running • Demonstrate the finished work to the sponsor • Resolve any last-minute issues
