So I was working on my Capstone project for which we received sponsorship. It was a automated muscle stimulator for atrophy patient. While working on the project we first laid down timeline and we made milestone to complete and since our project was funded we really had to make this deadline but while making all this deadline we didnt set our material requirement and check if everything we required was at our disposal or not and it came out that the micro processor we required was not readily available and we had to wait for atleast one month to get it and since we didnt have micro proseccor we really couldn’t test our code on the cheap and this also increased our cost since now we had to order more processor to make sure if any poof them goes bad while burning our code or our circuit. So we learnt that before making our timeline its important to see if major materials are readily available or not and if not adjust the timeline accordingly.
