Tutorial 2

Concept of project life cycle is about inception, elaboration, construction and transition.

Now, lets look at the scope of my project.

Firstly, the duration. Our duration of the project should be around 6months. hahaXD. But if we were to make it out (set the dome shaped solar panel on top of HDB building) , i guess we will be needing one and a half year to finish it?

Secondly, the cost. The current best deals on solar cells is about $4.30 per watt. For a 50 watt solar panel, the total cost will be around $215. A normal solar panel lifespan is about 20 to 25 years and their value and voltages output will decrease over time.

Thirdly, manpower requirement. For this project to be done in reality, we might need professionals from different sectors. E.g. business sectors,mechanical engineering,electrical engineering..

For the last point, responsibility matrix. Everyone will have to play a part. Meetings will be held almost every week so that to update the latests information about the project. Besides updating for information, the team members can also take this time to communicate with one another so that there will be no misunderstanding in between.

Resources needed:

1. Money

2. Professionals from different sectors
3. Solar Panel

4. HDB flats
