This week, FLARE met on 9/15/2025 to work on our Product Design Specifications (PDS). This is an important document that transforms customer wants and needs into requirements and specifications. We made sure to draft specifications that can be measured by technical performance measures (TPMs). These TPMs can be used as goals to guide the research and development phase of our project, and benchmarks to guide our prototyping and testing phase. 

On Tuesday, 9/16/2025 we met before class to work on our project roadmap for this semester. This document encompasses our planned work until the systems level design review (SLDR). We also developed a project risk table to catalog our major concerns and mitigation strategies. In class, we presented our project as a team and were met with helpful questions. Later in the week we met with our coach and GE liaisons to review the documentation we created, get their feedback, and ask some questions. Lastly, we wanted to congratulate our members who recently participated in a Team Building Workshop & White Belt Six Sigma Training!
