Why Do Design Reviews Gives the team intermediate milestones during the 6 weeks –Requires that critical parts of the project are completed Helps involve the sponsor Gives the students an opportunity to show off their work Verify the design

Standard in Industry Design reviews are required in any large project –Projects divided into phases –Exiting one phase and going to another requires a review from all the stakeholders

What Happens at Reviews Preliminary Design Review –After the initial design and prototyping Demonstrate your understanding of the game Verify the design, show the prototypes –Get suggestions/concerns now before starting build Critical Design Review –Robot mostly complete and running Demonstrate the finished work to the sponsor Resolve any last-minute issues
