Effective Project Initiation: From Problem Definition to Design Validation

Starting a project involves multiple crucial steps to ensure success. Begin with defining the problem clearly, clarifying objectives, and establishing user requirements. Identify constraints and the functions needed based on client statements. Move into the design phase, which includes generating alternatives and conceptual design, followed by detailed design and documentation. Verification and validation ensure the final product meets standards and client expectations. This structured approach maximizes efficiency and aligns the project team toward a common goal.

  1. Starting a Project Where do we now start? Where are we going? Will we know when we arrive? Starting a project

  2. Problem Definition clarify objectives establish user requirements identify constraints establish functions Client Statement (need) Before BL establish design specifications generate alternatives Conceptual design model or analyze design test and evaluate design Preliminary Design Verification After BL Always recognizing need for Standards and Standardization refine and optimize design Detailed Design Final Design (fabrication specifications & documentation) Design Communication document design Validation Product (designed object) Starting a project

  3. Conceptual Design Problem Definition clarify objectives establish user requirements identify constraints establish functions Client Statement (need) Verification Establish design specifications generate alternatives Conceptual design Starting a project

  4. Client’s Statement (opportunity Statement) • “I would like your team to design me a CD rack.” • Task • Each team pick a person to be the client. • Rest of team organize to function as a team. • Use the team and team skills to acquire further knowledge about the problem. Translating and clarifying client’s wants. Starting a project

  5. Wants Needs Problem Revised Problem Starting a project

  6. Further Clarifying Wants • Desired features and attributes • Desired functions • Features, attributes, and functions of competing products Starting a project

  7. Features, Attributes, and Functions Organize and modify Needs Objective List/Tree Starting a project

  8. Objective Tree Obj 1 Obj 1.1 Obj 1.2 Obj 1.1.1 Obj 1.1.2 Obj 1.2.1 Obj 1.2.2 Obj 1.1.2.1 Obj 1.1.2.2 Starting a project

  9. Constraints • Client’s external constraints • Project team’s internal constraints Starting a project

  10. Goals • What the team hopes to achieve • Based on their understanding of the problem • Developed by combining the objectives and constraints Starting a project

  11. Objective Tree Goal Obj 1 Obj 1.1 Obj 1.2 Obj 1.1.1 Obj 1.1.2 Obj 1.2.1 Obj 1.2.2 Constraint Obj 1.1.2.1 Obj 1.1.2.2 Starting a project

  12. Formal Mission Statement • A concise and carefully developed statement that tells • Who is doing the project • Where it is located (your client, location) • What is being done • When it will be completed • Why it is important to do it • The “How” will be defined by your project management plan, conceptual design activities, preliminary design activities, and final design activities.
