Outline for `Project Design 1' for CSE 356, F05


Complete the key new increments over your submitted `ideas' are

1. more details about the design, including risks and dependencies you 
have upon key pieces of software, hardware, personnel or other resources,

2. an initial design of one or two critical major interfaces, both
to indicate your level of design depth and to make clear
that your design gracefully includes compatible components,
is modular and will be extensible,

3. a schedule, with contingency plans,

4. a division of responsibilities,

5. a description of final deliverables and functional capabilities,

6. any key capabilities you expect you can not include, and how that
will effect your final project.



My main criteria for evaluation will be

a. Has your idea matured to a stable point and is it well conceived?

b. Are you likely to succeed in your final objective?

c. Have you allowed enough time?

d. Have you thought carefully about needed resources?

e. Do you have reasonable contingency plans?

f. Have you allowed for communication within the team and design changes
and negotiation?

g. Have you understood and addressed the key technical issues?
