Project Manager

  • Someone in charge of handling competition details

  • Handle team deadlines - make sure sub teams meet specific deadlines

  • Integration and making sure sub teams are working together - failure from last year was that it wasn’t there, it was that it wasn’t started fast enough

  • Doesn’t need to be a full time person - could be part time

  • They can’t change how a sub team is operating - just being aware of deadlines

  • Main focus should make sure team is going in the right direction - help if sub teams start veering off course or focusing on things that aren’t as important

  • List of responsibilities:

    • Run technical sync up meetings on Thursdays

    • Handle team deadlines

    • Creating requirements/plan for competition (in coordination with team leads)

    • Help with making sure tickets happen on time - for inter sub team tasks (ex: gimbal/grabber and telemetry)

    • Manage team GANT chart

    • Attend lead meetings

 

Concept of Design Review

  • Once you have architecture (aka ask a bunch of questions) meeting, have another meeting where sub teams present designs

  • Help get ahead of any problems

  • Each team will have a finalized architecture

  • Treat meeting as a place to “poke holes” in architecture and suggest changes

  • Before start of fall term - sometime in August, tentatively August 19

 

Other

  • Leads should take meeting notes

  • Recruitment from Renison, Thursday July 29th 8:30-10:30, probably won’t attend

  • Co-lead option was discussed (more at future meetings) - look into off-stream leads
