This week we are referencing, compiling, and writing like crazy for the final volumes of our design report, including a video about the project. The first volume will be an overview of all that we have done this year. The other volumes are for our direct user including the process steps we took, how to implement changes, and user manuals. We are looking forward to giving these documents to the sponsor and look back on all of our accomplishments over the year.

Another step that the team is taking to ensure the successful transfer of our project to Duke Energy is we are holding a meeting at the site where we “go live” with the data. Duke Energy’s data analyst, Marian Valach, has helped us throughout the semester and will be the one to implement their current data into our dashboards. This meeting will allow the entire team to be able to troubleshoot problems quickly and will be a great celebration for everyone who was a part of its success.
