RAMBOTICS Corporation is working on an exciting new project that is referred to as the "New Generation Robot Project." The project charter has scheduled the project kickoff to be on the 1st of January, 2016. However, this analysis represents an overview of the project's status report after the project has been managed for roughly eight months after fast-forwarding to August 2016.

The project has activities that fall within one of nine different categories (illustrated below). The project works its way through the robot's electronics, components, and software before attempting to design the robots body and finalizing an overall design.
