Project scope & Plan

On a personal level, I believe that today’s meeting in the presence of Lionel has really helped us to grasp a better understanding (among ourselves) on the scope of the project. Apparently, the bigger picture of the project is to find feasible ways of setting up the flexible & robust solar panel and also to come up with innovative services that will add value to the solution and hence bring about meaningful changes in the lives of the remote villagers.

It was quite encouraging to observe that we are originating more innovative ideas while also refining the previously discussed concepts into more realistic approaches (such as the ‘village-hub’ proposal). The discussion about the stake-holder analysis was also very important. The relationship analysis we produced last time seems to be more detailed than is actually needed. Hence, as suggested during the meeting, it’ll be good to prepare the relationship analysis in a more generalized manner (villagers, funding organizations …).

The previous draft project plan looked ‘incomplete’ due to the fact that the breakdown was done based on the tips we found from the course info slide. Presently, we have the list of elements suggested in Paul’s lecture notes; so, we will produce a revised version in accordance with the list.

We have set timeframes for individual works and the revised document is planned to be ready for release by Friday.
