Flow Chart See what other teams are doing to get a picture of what is working and what isn’t. Decide what SDA’s we are going to accomplish and assign them to members of the team. Review previous tools grading to figure out what we need to improve on. Post information so that it can be compiled and posted for grading. Post a due date for tool table postings before due date so that compilers can gather information for their tools.
