Identified Risks

Interfacing SD Team with Baja Team Having Senior Design Team understand design

task well without significant involvement of team.

Culture and Thinking Baja Team relies heavily on short term design

Moving Forward

Thus Far, Focus has been on Establishing needs, contacts, and mitigating team boundaries.

Meet with team to revue details of upcoming competition

Future focus is to be on detailed definitions of projects and Project Readiness Packages
