# Purpose & Scope
This plan governs the 12-week Phase 2 development, test, and delivery cycle for the automotive RF-and-NFC monitoring dongle, following PMI PMBOK phases while satisfying ISO/SAE 21434 artefact expectations.
## Semester Timeline & Phase Gates (12 Weeks Remaining)
| Week(s) | Phase | Milestone | Exit Criteria |
| ------- | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| 1 | Initiation | Approved charter; hardware orders placed | Stakeholder sign-off |
| 2 | Planning | Detailed schematics, updated BOM, sprint backlog | DR-1 review complete |
| 3 | Execution I | Breadboard prototype (RTL-SDR + PN532) functional | Signal capture validated |
| 4 | Execution II | µC firmware alpha; logging pipeline operational | 50 % unit-test coverage |
| 5 | Signal Processing | Anomaly-detection v0.1; NFC detection refined | ≥70 % accuracy in bench tests |
| 6 | Alert System | BLE/Wi-Fi alerts end-to-end; backend stubbed | Notification latency ≤3 s |
| 7 | Enclosure & Integration | 3-D printed shell; field-ready prototype | Prototype survives 24-h soak |
| 8 | Field Testing I | Vehicle deployment; collect real-world data | ≥20 GB logs captured |
| 9 | Field Testing II | Detection logic tuned; power tests | False-positive rate <5 % |
| 10 | Compliance & Security | FCC Part 15B pre-scan; secure-boot reviewed | All critical findings closed |
| 11 | Documentation | User manual draft; ISO/SAE matrices updated | Docs 80 % complete |
| 12 | Final Review & Handoff | Capstone demo; professor acceptance | Grade submission ready |

## RACI Matrix (Excerpt)
*Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed*
| Task | Lead | Support | Consult | Inform |
| --------------- | ---- | ------- | --------- | ------------ |
| PCB layout | #3 | #1 | Advisor | Team |
| ML model | #2 | #1 | Professor | Team |
| Compliance docs | #1 | #2 | Library | Stakeholders |
## Risk Register – Top Three
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|--------|-----------|
| RF false positives | Medium | Medium | Dynamic threshold + ML retrain |
| Component shortage | High | High | Dual vendors, pin-compatible alternates |
| FCC regulatory delay | Low | Medium | Pre-scan in Week 6; outsource remediation |
## Test & Quality Management
- Continuous Integration executes static-analysis, unit tests, and code-coverage on every push.
- Nightly Hardware-in-the-Loop bench replays captured relay-attack waveforms to prevent regressions.
- Traceability matrix ties every requirement to verification artefacts ensuring audit readiness.
## Deployment & Support
Final deliverables include a pre-flashed dongle in a 3-D-printed enclosure, QR-coded quick-start guide, and mobile-app links to TestFlight and Google Beta. Post-launch support spans 60 days with hot-patch OTA capability for emergent CVEs.

### Next-Week Action Items
1. Incorporate professor feedback on secure-element threat modelling into WP-10-05 draft.
2. Validate component lead times against Mouser/Digi-Key inventory and update risk log.
3. Prepare demo vehicle harness to streamline pilot installations during Week 10 validation.
