Discussion on Executing the Project

      The projects are complicated because they are required to be developed and come into form as any real-world problem arises. Considering the problem, the projects need a process to resolve the issue. According to the studies, every project in the world has a limited budget, resources as well as schedule. The reflection on executing the project is basically providing the connection between the mechanical engineering project theories and my project. My current project is the robot arm with a gripper that needs some current and computing instructions for movement (Pinto, 2007).

            According to theories, the robotic arm with the gripper project can be successful in the world or can be failed if it does not meet the requirements of basic engineering and concepts. The time for this project is a very important aspect because the world only wants to adopt those products that are time-saving and long last. The budget of the robotic arm with a gripper is also limited but it is enough to purchase the hardware. The third point is very important for the success of this project which is the performance and reliability of the project.

            Before starting the project, some tasks are performed which are: taking structural support for the project manager, coaching, auditing, and testing, networking among the projects, and the project scheduling including the management of project stakeholders. These things will be estimated and assessed with the help of a spider diagram (Kušar, Rihar, Duhovnik, & Starbek, 2008).

            The project needs a proper timeline that will provide the information that what are the main activities of the projects and how they will be performed form defined time to a fixed time limit. Furthermore, the projects will have an accurate and strong timeline which will be mentioned in the Gantt chart. The project stakeholders are also identified in the robot arm project. The main stakeholders of this project are supervisors, evaluators, project team leaders, and project team members.

            There are some other competitors in the market that have but some modifications will be introduced in the robotic arm. To design and show the layout of the robotic arm, Autocad is used that provided all the angles and showed the movements of the arm.

            For the screening and selection of the project, the scoring model has been used in which every aspect of the project weighed. As the project is started, it has come into the proactive portfolio by using the agile methodology. The team leaders can also be known as the manager but the leader is more than a manager and is responsible for almost everything in the project. The leader is also working with the teammates and perform joint accountability. In this project, the leaders are also the project champion because he is the role model for every team member and gives instructions to resolve the issues (Shavaliev & Puryaev, 2018).
