Project Definition & Planning: Phase I

  The first phase of the WSD project is dedicated largely to planning and research, and follows the CS410 course schedule and requirements closely. Early on, the project.s goals, objectives, target market, and possible risks will be defined. Based on these determinations, research will begin to prove the project.s feasibility. General internet research will answer many questions, but interviews and surveys will likely be needed to answer specific questions about technical feasibility or our target market. Finally, the plan that will be used to guide the project to success must be developed, including budget, Work Breakdown Structure, identified milestones, and schedules.

Research & Development: Phase II

  Phase II is the meat of the project lifecycle of the WSD. It is here that the product itself is developed in detail, from the specifics of the hardware, to the user interface, and its outer appearance. Documentation is also constructed here, both that which will be included with the product itself, and repair manuals, legal documents such as copyrights, and funding applications. The CS411 coursework would also be completed within this period, both the documentation and prototype development components. Marketing, manufacturing, and supply contracts will be established during this time, as well as performing testing of the WSD.s components, both individually and integrated together in their final form.

Production & Outyears: Phase III

The final phase will see some of the WSD development team assigned to new projects. Revenue permitting will see the bulk of the team working on enhancements to the first release such as possibly a shock feature for enhanced alerting, creation of an interface to a virtual workstation, coordinating the research and subsequent results to improve upon reliability and expanded roles for the product such as dependable and accurate alerting in dangerous situations. The current project manager or one appointed will spearhead the effort to keep the WSD product alive and profitable.

It should be noted that many of the costs here, particularly annual costs, are estimates for the first year only. Costs beyond this period will be determined largely by performance of our product in the marketplace. Estimates for future periods should be determinable when this sales and market data becomes available. Our tentative post first-year plans are to dedicate 10% of our revenue to marketing (30000s) and 15% to continued research and development (40000s).
