Risk Assessment
For Phase 8, the team has re-evaluated the risk assessment chart and made some changes to it. Overall the team has lowered the risk once again but we weren't able to hit close to 0 with the total importance as there were issues with mainly working with citronella oil and a delay in parts with the mechanical side. We have lowered 5 items of the risk assessment for this phase and below will be a list of the ones and why we made that specific change.
Risk 6 - Likelihood: 3 → 1. The reasoning for this was that the team has completed the semester for MSD II and COVID for us has not been an issue so since the class is over the likelihood that it will affect is us low.
Risk 7 - Likelihood: 3 → 1. The pump when we were testing did not cause loud or annoying sounds so we bumped that down from a 3 to a 1 for the likelihood of it causing an issue.
Risk 8 - Severity: 3 → 1. The reasoning for this was the same as Risk 6 where the class is close to being over and over the semester it has not been an issue for us so the severity of it is not an issue for us.
Risk 9 - Likelihood: 3 → 1. The team, not all being in person for us has not been an issue with the productivity and did not delay our work for this semester, so we decided to bump that down from a 3 to a 1.
Risk 10 - Likelihood: 9 → 1. The weather hazard for us hasn't been a major issue for this semester as we were testing, so we decided to drop that down from a 9 to a 1.
Risk 11 - Likelihood: 3 → 1. For the proof of concept for the torch system the team did enough research where the limited knowledge of the app or fluid did not affect us.
Risk 12 - Severity: 9 → 3. We dropped this from a 9 to a 3 as we feel that we did a pretty good job for keeping the overall price of what the team added low. The pricing is not set in stone as buying in bulk may reduce the price even more.
Risk 13 - Severity: 3 → 1. We decided to drop this risk down as the delay in parts did not hugely impact our deliverables for the end of MSD II. The likelihood was not dropped as we did see that there was a delay in parts that were out of our control such as the redesigned torch pole.
Risk 14 - Severity: 9 → 3. The solar system did not get burned up or damaged in any way during our testing, but did see another issue with the charging the battery and using it at the same so only dropped from a 9 to a 3.
Risk 18 - Likelihood: 3 → 1. We dropped this from a 3 to a 1 as we have been testing around with the Wi-Fi connection and haven't hit any major issues with that.
Risk 19 - Likelihood: 3 → 1. The reasoning for this was the same as Risk 18 since we did not occur into a statically damaged part over MSD II.
