Hope everyone had a happy holiday season! The Fantastic 5 certainly did.

With the start of the Spring semester, comes the return of IPPD. Already on the first week of classes, the team dealt with a tornado warning and getting soaked from a thunderstorm heading to class. Classes were not cancelled unfortunately. One of our members was brave enough to face the storm head on. She is now sick.

Regardless, this week the Fantastic 5 completed a critical path plan for the rest of the semester to highlight major tasks that need to be achieved for success in the project. We also started correspondence involved with getting training for HiPerGator, as the team needs the supercomputer to train the AI model as it requires a lot of resources. We also had to complete a Work Breakdown Structure for January to distribute work for the month. This allows us to be more efficient and get started with our AI training.

Our Work Breakdown Structure is as follows for the month of January:

• 0.0 Product Image Generator for Fanatics Website
• 1.0 Project Management
• 2.0 Further Research
• 3.0 Stable Diffusion Development
  • 3.1 Testing
    • 3.1.1 Unit Tests
  • 3.2 Backend
    • 3.2.1 Train AI model using Stable Diffusion
    • 3.2.2 Integration with Fanatics Platform
    • 3.2.3 Stable Diffusion Handler
• 4.0 Qualification Review Board
  • 4.1 Create PowerPoint
  • 4.2 Rehearse Presentation

Next week, we are going to start implementing the AI model and preparing for the QRB.
