Project Name

Each value is broken down to four levels of performance: Unsatisfactory, Needs Improvements, Meets Expectations, or Exceeds Expectations

Everything associated with this project is public domain.

• Everything associated with this project is public domain.

• The final result of the RP1 Motor Module design will be published for any party to access.

• The intent of publication is for any party to use the design to build their own Motor Module for their own use.

Taking on too much design responsibility – “biting off more than you can chew”

• Taking on too much design responsibility – “biting off more than you can chew”

• Budget Constraints – staying within budget, underestimating cost

• Efficient use of resources (coordination) – machine shops, people’s schedules

• Packaging envelope – teams must design within constraints

• Scaled down version of previous designs – desired design should look like a miniature version of previous designs

• Customer expectations – miscommunication of/not meeting important needs

• Time schedule (milestones to accomplish) – not meeting deadlines

• High learning curve – too much to learn to accomplish goals

• Identify and acquire key design components early – dependent components come after

• Good design on paper but not in reality – CAD and other design work should be realistic

• Testing capabilities – have time and testing equipment

• Not guaranteed that teams will collaborate – tension and design conflicts

• Too much team collaboration will discourage uniqueness of design

• Scheduling conflicts and difficult team meeting coordination

• With some team structure options, the interface between segments will be difficult to manage
