Project management is common to all projects and calls for the most efficient solution at the most minimal amount. Essential project management tools that we used in our projects include a work breakdown structure and a pert chart. A work breakdown structure is a deliverable oriented summary of a project into smaller components and a pert chart is a statistical tool created to analyze specific tasks involved in the completion of a project. See the documentation section below for my project management tools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;font-size: 14pt\">Documentation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ece454designprojects.scranton.edu\/conorbeers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/SAC-competition-rules.pdf\">sac-competition-rules<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ece454designprojects.scranton.edu\/conorbeers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/voltge-regulator-datasheet.pdf\">voltge-regulator-datasheet<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ece454designprojects.scranton.edu\/conorbeers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/arduino-code.docx\">arduino-code<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ece454designprojects.scranton.edu\/conorbeers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Work-Breakdown-Structure.docx\">work-breakdown-structure<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ece454designprojects.scranton.edu\/conorbeers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2016\/09\/Gantt-Chart.pdf\">gantt-chart<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Description The goal of this project is to implement a system onto one of two different robotic chassis using a specific microcontroller.
