- Throughout the MSD process, the primarily learned the value of completing things as soon as possible to discover any potential failures or risks they may arise. A weakness of MSDI for the team was in early prototyping of the pump. This left primarily all phases of MSDII to perfecting the winding technique, alongside all other MSDII deliverables. The team is in unison however, that the proceedings of MSDII were significantly more favorable to the completion of the project and the group dynamic than MSDI. For our group, MSDI was much too structured, and required much too much time in concept selection, scheduling, risk assessment, etc. This, at the time and even currently feels unnecessary as we were planning testing, benchmarking, and hypothesizing risks to something we hadn't finished the design on or in which we had no intuition of failure sources of the design. We understand the reason and the necessity for MSDI to set the team up for success in identifying the problem, and generating a well engineered solution, however, perhaps our team did not utilize that time in conjunction with prototyping and manufacturing components, taking some of the weight of MSDII. The freedom to follow our own schedule and complete engineering tasks allowed in MSDII was much more refreshing and we attribute much of the team's success to this.
