To proactively address potential project risks, our team will employ a defense strategy
focused on preventing vulnerabilities in the system. This involves countering threats,
eliminating asset vulnerabilities, restricting access to authorized users, and implementing
protective safeguards. Three common methods for risk defense include policy application,
training and education, and the use of technology.

Additionally, as a team, we propose specific solutions to tackle potential risks and challenges.
For instance, to mitigate the risk of missing project deadlines, we plan to establish a
comprehensive time management plan outlining tasks and deadlines. In addressing budget
overruns, we will develop a cost management plan with detailed calculations. Furthermore, to
address technical issues, we aim to enhance the smart face recognition system by utilizing
high-quality cameras.

REFLECTION
Our team has identified several key challenges that need to be addressed for the successful
implementation of our project. Firstly, accurately identifying and recognizing different types
of courses poses a significant challenge. This necessitates the implementation of robust
machine learning algorithms and the development of an extensive training database.
Additionally, the system must exhibit adaptability to function effectively in diverse
environments, varying lighting conditions, and handle different distances and angles from the
camera.

Another substantial challenge involves creating a user-friendly interface that is both easy to
use and intuitive, especially for users without prior experience with gesture recognition
systems. Seamless integration with existing technology is also a critical consideration. In
essence, the success of our project hinges on effectively overcoming these challenges and
delivering a gesture identification system that is not only functional and reliable but also user-
friendly. Achieving this goal requires a strategic focus on machine learning algorithms, the
acquisition of extensive training data, and a commitment to developing a system that is
intuitive, reliable, and adaptable to various environments while seamlessly integrating with
existing technology
