RIT will permanently shut down the RIT Wiki (Confluence wiki) on February 2, 2024. Review the Wiki Shut Down Overview for information on alternative tools, exporting content from the wiki, and other FAQs.
The team re-evaluated the risk management as Phase 3, preliminary detailed design phase, and the team has decided that the number of risks along with the total importance went up during this phase as more of the design was progressed. From the previous phase, 4 more risks were added and they are risk number 16-19. The team plans on creating a PCB and the risk with that is it needs to be able to withstand oil erosion. It's something that's really important to consider since the sensor PCB senses the oil level it's one of the most important components in the system and having it be defected by oil erosion can occur into troubles. To minimize this issue a protective coating needs to be looked into to minimize the erosion. The next new risk that was added was solar power not meeting power requirements. As the team is deciding to move towards solar power the risk is that the clouds can disrupt the solar power or there could be unexpected power draw that could fry the micro-controller. To minimize this risk the team would need to consider other power options that could be more reliable. Another risk that was brought up was regarding the parts that will be ordered from manufacturers. There could be a delay in the parts which would delay our progress with the prototyping and testing out components. The last risk that the team decided to add was the mechanical parts not being compatible. The effect that could cause is that there would need to be modifications with the parts selected. To minimize this the measurements of the torch need to be completed and after the compatibility needs to be confirmed too.Risk Assessment
The risk burndown chart was also updated as the total importance and the number of risks went up this phase. The updated values are 19 risks with a total importance of 304.
