A.INTRODUCTION.
In Managing a Successful Computing Project, In this ASM 1 as a member of the R&D department, I'm assigned a small project
to understand the impact of IoT including benefits, future growth potential as well as challenges for IoT implementation and how to
solve them. The scenario I chose is about IoT in the military, specifically the "Connected military cars" system. In the first part, I will
introduce this system, how it works, and its features. I will then divide the work and create a project management plan covering the
aspects of cost, scope, time, quality, communication, risk, and resources. This section will dive into everything important to creating
the best management plan. In the third part, I will create the work breakdown structure and Gantt Chart to provide the time frame
and stages for completion, all of which will be detailed in this report. And in the last part, I will do small-scale research by applying
qualitative research methods (create questionnaire forms for 5 people) they will give their own opinions and based on that. I will
figure out how to solve them, in the appropriate quantification to meet the goals and objectives of the project. I will establish
project aims, objectives, and time frames based on the chosen theme, and conduct small-scale research, information gathering, and
data collection to generate knowledge to support the project.

B. Devise project aims and objectives for a chosen scenario (P1):

1.1. Introduction Project Management

Project management is the process of leading the work of a team to achieve goals and meet success criteria at a specified
time. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals within the given constraints. This
information is usually described in project documentation, and created at the beginning of the development process. The primary
constraints are scope, time, and budget. The secondary challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and apply them to
meet pre-defined objectives.
 The objective of project management is to produce a complete project which complies with the client's objectives. In many
cases, the objective of project management is also to shape or reform the client's brief to feasibly address the client's objectives.
Once the client's objectives are established, they should influence all decisions made by other people involved in the project – for
example, project managers, designers, contractors, and sub-contractors. Ill-defined or too tightly prescribed project management
objectives are detrimental to decision-making.

1.1. Software Project Management

Software Project management is a collection of work done by a team (may have different expertise, different work, and
different project time) to achieve a result. as scheduled, in the scheduled time, with a projected budget. In the terminology of
Software Engineering, Software Project Management is the activities of planning, monitoring, and controlling project resources (e.g.,
budget, people), execution time, etc., risks, and project implementation process to ensure the success of the project. Software
project management needs to ensure a balance between three factors: time, resources, and quality. These three elements are
known as the project triangle.

1.1.1. Phase of project management

➢Initiation: The project initiation phase is the first stage of turning an abstract idea into a meaningful goal. In this stagethis
stage, you need to develop a business case and define the project on a broad level. To do that, you have to determine the need for
the project and create a project charter.

The project charter is an important document consisting of details like the project constraints, goals, appointment of the
project manager, budget, expected timeline, etc.

➢Planning: The project planning stage requires complete diligence as it lays out the project’s roadmap. Unless you are using
a modern project management methodology like agile project management, the second phase of project management is expected
to take almost half of the entire project’s timespan. In this phase, the primary tasks are identifying technical requirements,
developing a detailed projects chedule, creating a communication plan, and setting up goals/deliverables.

➢Project execution:
 The project execution stage is where your team does the actual work. As a project manager, your jobs too establish efficient
workflows and carefully monitor the progress of your team. This phase focuses on putting your project plan into action and getting
the work done. This is when team members start working on their assigned tasks and begin progressing toward the project’s
objectives. Your role during this phase is to delegate tasks wisely, provide support and guidance to your team, as well as track
progress to ensure the project stays on track.

1.1.2. Project charter

A project charter is a short document that explains the project in clear, concise wording for high-level management. Project
charters outline the entirety of projects to help teams quickly understand the goals, tasks, timelines, and stakeholders. It is an
essential deliverable in any project and one of the first deliverables as prescribed by the PMBOK Guide and other best practice
standards. The document provides key information about a project and also provides approval to start the project. Therefore, it
serves as a formal announcement that a newly approved project is about to commence. Contained also in the project charter is the
appointment of the project manager, the person who is overall responsible for the project.

C. Produce a project management plan that covers aspects of cost, scope, time, quality, communication, risk, and resources. (P2)

2.1. Project management plan

The project management plan is the work of a manager that can be of the organization or specially hired. This entire process
is done based on the information given by the stakeholders and project teams. It is an official document in paper form and approved
by the top level defining the following things like controlling, monitoring and execution. The same is a document that summarised all
written information for the overall plan. It figures out the approaches and reaches of the project team that delivers the plan.
 Thus, it contains the bottom line on which the working of the project plan can be measured like resources, cost, time, scope,
risk, and communication. It guarantees sufficient time taken to write a portion of work that includes the goodness of entire projects
to present project. Project management plan for Roc Search Ltd. They are launching a new project.

2.1.1. Cost:
This is an important part of the report because it includes all the expenses which are spent in meeting day to day activity of
the business. Because the project is divided into several parts there is a requirement for the fund to meet their activities. Several
expenses included in this are staffing, equipment costs, hiring of some equipment, technologies, manpower so on(Hwang and Ng,
2013). It covers expenditures from starting to the end.

2.1.2. Scope:
In this step, every member is assigned responsibilities related to the project plan. It makes a cluster of processes needed to
complete a project. Aids in determining the need to deliver the project and its work. The procedure of doing work is set as well as
directions also which are necessary for achieving goals and objectives.

Location: Geographical scope: - Nam Tu Liem, Ha Noi.

Human scope: - Apply people who work in the military.

2.1.3. Times:
This decides the duration of the project for completing a project. It decides the ability of an individual person and how much
time they take in achieving an assigned task(Verzuh, 2015). Thus, it ensures planning, setting goals, and priority of work for better
performance. When structured is made with their time duration then it helps in completing work on time.

Time: -project signups launched: October 10, 2022

-project completed: March 1, 2023

Estimating time is more difficult than building job boards. Principle: estimate the time for each small job, from which there is
a basis for estimating the total amount of time for the project (Bottom-up).

• The time estimate will be the basis for assessing the progress of the project implementation process judgment. While
estimating time, always determine which tasks are more important Which job, which works must be done before which job is the
basis for building create a project schedule

2.1.3.1.Techniques for making time estimates

2.1.3.1.2. Non-scientific estimate

- Based on subjective, emotional experience

- Fast and easy to use,

- Unreliable results.

Should only be used in cases

- Professional team very experienced, highly skilled, the fixed lineup

- The project has been specified, it is mandatory to follow

2.1.3.1.3.Estimated PERT
Suitable for projects:
 - requires creativity

- value the quality of the work results in more than the time to complete the project

PERT formula Estimated time:

- Need to do three-time estimates for each job

- Combine to get the final number.

• Most Likely (ML-Most Likely): the time required to complete successfully work under "normal" or "reasonable" conditions.

• MO-Most Optimistic: the time required to complete success under "best" or "ideal" conditions (no obstacles)

• Most Pessimistic (MP-Most Pessimistic): time needed to complete work in the "worst" way (full of obstacles)

The final estimate is calculated by the formula: (MO + 4(ML) + MP)/6

- For example Connected military cars (EST: estimation - estimate the time to do the project)
Then add "a little time" to each task (time spent in between). Normally increases by 7% - 10%.
2.1.4. Quality:
When a project plan is designed then it should be kept in mind that the quality of this must be maintained. So when work is
going on this will not create any issues employees can easily understand that. The project is framed to earn profit and it is possible
when quality is maintained(Project Management Execution, 2016). For maintaining an image as well as existing performance to
continue then there is a requirement of controlling quality.
2.1.5.Communication:
It is a two-way process where one is the sender and another is the receiver. This play important role in achieving the success
of the project plan(Leach, 2014). Cloud computing is the best way of transferring information from one person to another. This path
includes purpose, approach, goals, objectives, tools, methodologies, roles, and a high level of communication message. Social media
and the internet is also a source that helps in communication with each other.

2.1.6. The Risk Management Plan

A risk management plan also called a “risk mitigation plan” is a well-defined document that tells how to deal with specific
risks and what management actions must be taken against those risks in order to mitigate or remove threats to the project tasks and
outcomes. The risk management plan gives teams a sense of measures they need to take in order to identify, analyze, and respond
to all the risks running around within the project wheel.
This plan is part of a common risk management process that exists during the whole life cycle of a project. The risk management
process brings together all the driving forces that cause the project management team to take some action for treating risks.

2.1.6.1. Why risk management?

Firstly, risk management helps us to effectively use and bring success to the project by pointing out limitations and waste in
the working process, eliminating costs incurred in research. At the same time, determine the purpose, scope, and reality of the
project to balance and control the time.

Second, risk management creates the best conditions for our investment and project development.

Third, help us strengthen governance. Thanks to risk management, we can determine for ourselves what needs to be
prioritized, while effectively monitoring our activities through risk indicators and limiting adverse effects. From there, we can
accomplish the given strategic goal.

Fourth, risk management meets investors' expectations. Before making an investment decision, investors carefully consider
and consider the risks.

2.1.6.2. Risk assessment:

 Evaluate the possibility
- Determine the probability of the risk occurring depending on the project situation and the prevention measures
taken
- Usually calculated in% value or degree: High, Medium, Low
 Impact assessment
- Evaluate the impact on cost, time, and quality when the risk occurs
- Usually use a 1-5 scale or value: High, Medium, Low
2.1.6.3. Valuation of risk
Possibility * Impact level = Value of risk

 Value of risk
- Value : 0,1-1: low risk
- Value: 1,1-1,5 : medium risk
- Value: 1,6-2,5 : serious risk

2.1.6.4.Risk treatment strategy

 Minimize
- Impact reduces the likelihood and the extent of influence. Apply with medium risk
 Avoid
- Eliminate risk sources, change technology, and schedule with alternatives to avoid risks. Apply with serious risk
 Moved on
- Transfer the work and the source of the risk to another partner for implementation. Apply with medium risk
 Accept
- Accept the existence of risks without proactively mitigating the costs due to "too great" or inability to reduce
still preparing plans to overcome and regularly monitoring risks. Apply with low risk.

2.1.7. Resources:
Resources are needed for finishing up a project. But before providing resources to employees it is necessary to identify their
requirements that how many resources are needed and for achieving which task. Without appropriate resources, no project plan
can be successful. These can be human power, equipment, technologies, and sites(Marston et. al., 2011)

D. Produce a work breakdown structure and a Gantt Chart to provide timeframes and stages for completion(P3).

3.1. Gantt Chart

Gantt Chart-it is used for managing projects which are used by every type of organization. For showing their task with a
deadline of finishing them it is in the form left side activities are given along with on the top their schedule. The task is presented
with a bar presentation; the length of the bar shows the date on which the assigned task has to be started instead of this time as
well the completion date of the activity. This type of technique was introduced in 1896 founder of this is Karol adamiecki who
named it “her monogram”. Later on, its name was changed to the name of Henry Gantt who use this technique of creating a chart
from 1910-1915. In the United state when the world war was going on Gantt Chart was used for making a design schedule of
different activities along with their time of finishing(Porwal and Hewage, 2013).

Gantt Chart is used by most organization for managing day-to-day activities as per its requirement of finishing. It helps in
achieving the goal and objective of business which is pre-determined by doing work on time. Because it shows the allotment of
activities along with their timing. In simple terms, it can be said that starting as well the finishing time of activities are given.
Moreover, it is a blueprint of all the task which is used for managing task for generating more and more revenue. It is also used for
gaining the return on investment. Roc Search Ltd. Use this technique for managing their work because it aids in completing work on
time. (Sharon and Dori, 2015)
3.2.Work Breakdown Structure:
WBS chart is mostly used by the company to organize entire activities in manageable sections so that work can be done
systematically without much chaos. Therefore, it can be said that a work breakdown structure provides an outline for a specific
project.

Key Characteristics and Components of the WBS. A key component of a work breakdown structure is the 100% rule. This
means that the WBS encompasses all aspects of the project, as well as the person or team responsible for that component.

Another key characteristic of WBS is its leveled structure. When applying the 100% rule, Level 1 of the WBS will be the
totality of the project. Some WBSs include a description or overview of the project at the top level if it isn’t self-explanatory. Then
each level below breaks down the project into further detail, using the 100% rule at each level. For instance, if you’re creating a WBS
for a new website, Level 1 would be “ Website for New Brand”. Level 2 elements break down the deliverables necessary to bring the
project to completion, such as secure websitURLrl, design layout, and developing content. Each subsequent level continues breaking
down the elements into further detail.
3.2.1.Role Work Breakdown Structure:

Work breakdown structure is a helpful project management tool for several reasons. First, it breaks down the project into
bite-size components, making the project less overwhelming and more manageable. Second, it provides a roadmap for the different
individuals and teams working on the project. Many projects involve different teams moving in tandem, all of which need to
coordinate and integrate for project completion. By using a WBS, the various individuals and teams can focus on their specific tasks
and deliverables while also seeing how their piece fits into the project as a whole.

Finally, a WBS is an excellent tool for measuring project completion, identifying milestones, and allocating budget resources.
By using the 100% rule, project managers can be confident that the project is properly budgeted and that they won’t run into any
roadblocks due to a “surprise” deliverable.

E. Carry out small-scale research by applying qualitative and quantitative research methods appropriate for meeting project aims
and objectives(P4).
The following research is focused on the "Quantitative" and "Qualitative" research methods. The former method is all about
estimating and collecting quantitative data. On the other hand, the latter is all about calculating and collecting qualitative data. The
quantitative data helps in concluding the project aspects and important sections from a large amount of sample. However, in any
case, this method is not very suitable, especially where data regarding behavior vigor and other qualities are needed. In such cases,
qualitative data collection methods are used. The sample size in this research method is very small. To collect the primary research,
a field survey is done that aims at collecting both qualitative and quantitative data. The sample size is 50 and people will be selected
randomly to avoid any data biases and discrepancies.

4.1Qualitative Research
Is one in which a researcher focuses on the meanings participants ascribe to a social phenomenon. The collection and
analysis of non-numerical data such as texts, with which the researcher deeply understands concepts, perspectives, and participants’
experiences. This involves using qualitative methods, such as qualitative interviews and qualitative observations. The process of
collecting, analyzing, and interpreting non-numerical data, such as language. Qualitative research can be used to understand how an
individual subjectively perceives and gives meaning to their social reality.
4.1.1.In this project, I do research by One-on-one interview:
Conducting in-depth interviews is one of the most common qualitative research methods. It is a personal interview that is
carried out with one respondent at a time. This is purely a conversational method and invites opportunities to get details in depth
from the respondent.

One of the advantages of this method provides a great opportunity to gather precise data about what people believe and
what their motivations are. If the researcher is well experienced asking the right questions can help him/her collect meaningful data.
If they should need more information the researchers should ask to follow-up questions that will help them collect more
information. These interviews can be performed face-to-face or on phone and usually can last between half an hour to two hours or
even more. When the in-depth interview is conducted face to face it gives a better opportunity to read the body language of the
respondents and match the responses.

4.2. Quantitative methodology.

Quantitative methodology is the dominant research framework in the social sciences. It refers to a set of strategies,
techniques, and assumptions used to study psychological, social, and economic processes through the exploration of numeric
patterns. Quantitative research gathers a range of numeric data. Some of the numeric data is intrinsically quantitative, while in other
cases the numeric structure is imposed. The collection of quantitative information allows researchers to conduct simple to extremely
sophisticated statistical analyses that aggregate the data, show relationships among the data, or compare across aggregated data.
Quantitative research includes methodologies such as questionnaires, structured observations, or experiments and stands in
contrast to qualitative research. Qualitative research involves the collection and analysis of narratives and or open-ended
observations through methodologies.

4.3 The purpose of quantitative research.

The purpose of quantitative research is to generate knowledge and create an understanding of the social world. Quantitative
research is used by social scientists, including communication researchers, to observe phenomena or occurrences affecting
individuals. Social scientists are concerned with the study of people. Quantitative research is a way to learn about a particular group
of people, known as a sample population. Using scientific inquiry, quantitative research relies on data that are observed or
measured to examine questions about the sample population.

- Five quantitative research methods:

1. Door-To-Door Interview: As face-to-face interviews, in-person interviewers interview respondents at home. Therefore, the
survey and interview should be conducted in a short time to avoid making the respondents impatient.

2. Central Location Test: Respondents are invited to a location, and at that location they will be interviewed for some product
content, advertising, or information about the brand's new business idea.

3. Home Placement Test: This is a form of information collection by placing a trial product at the home of an audience that
matches the criteria of potential customers. Usually the product trial period will be from 3 to 5 days and then the brand will
interview the customer about the product experience.

4. Telephone Interview: This method is often used by brands to external agencies. The agency will call customers to interview
about the service/product they have experienced. From there, the brand will understand the level of customer satisfaction, and
what products need to be adjusted to better suit the tastes of the market...

5. Online Survey: It is a form of information collection by having the respondents who fit the criteria answer the survey
information by themselves. Choosing the right interview method is one of the important prerequisites when businesses want to
apply quantitative research in business. The right method and right approach will help businesses collect valuable information from
consumers, from target customers, from which to draw accurate conclusions about the market.
In the report, I use the survey technique via Google form.

Secondary research or desk research is a research method that involves using already existing data. Existing data is
summarized and collated to increase the overall effectiveness of the research. Secondary data is pre-collected and published data.
Easy to collect, less time and money during the collection.

Secondary research includes research material published in research reports and similar documents. These documents can
be made available by public libraries, websites, data obtained from already filled-in surveys, etc. Some government and non-
government agencies also store data, that can be used for research purposes and can be retrieved from them.

F. Milestone in Project Management (M1).

The main purpose of this research is to analyze the impact of globalization on the social, environmental, and economic
aspects of the host nation. The practice of globalization encourages multinational companies to operate their business in several
other countries and also in other regions of their country. The present purpose of the research we chose is about IoT in the military
specifically the "connected military cars" system the benefits of the IoT in the military, the potential future developments, the most
pressing challenges, and how to overcome them. The Gantt chart shows the different stages involved in this research. Certain
specific processes are performed to reach every milestone. the "connected military cars" system has to be deeply understood and
side-by-side a deep understanding of the places where military cars want to operate is also understood. Moreover, discussions are
also done dealing with the predicted effect that the military will face, its employees, as well as its research operation, will face
because of prevailing diversity in every military.

5.1.Milestone
A milestone is a specific point within a project’s life cycle used to measure the progress toward the ultimate goal. Milestones
in project management are used as signal posts for a project's start or end date, external reviews or input, budget checks,
submission of a major deliverable, etc. A milestone is a reference point that marks a significant event or a branching decision point
within a project.
The checkpoints in a project timeline that reflect key occurrences are known as project management milestones. The project’s high-
priority activities, significant deliverables, client or stakeholder permission, start or finish dates for phases, important meetings, etc.,
are all represented by milestones in the project’s key performance index (KPI).
The road signboards that are strategically situated along major roads act as a guide to how many miles you have done and how
many you need to do for you to reach your destination. Project milestones in project management serve the same function. In the
above project, the signboards represent the project’s milestones, and the goal is the timely and cost-effective completion of all
projects.

G.Evaluate The Accuracy And Reliability Of Different Research Methods Applied(M2).

Being a project manager, the project manager needs to put extra focus on data accuracy and reliability to get the best
results. The inaccurate and unreliable information collected might cost a lot to the project as IoT in the military market requires a
large investment and with great investment comes huge risks. If the faulty data is put in the research analysis process, then this
might cost a lot to the project. Hence, for the reliability and accuracy of the data, the simulation strategy has been used. Talking
about data reliability, a statistical approach is used, wherein graphs and charts have been prepared to avoid any discrepancies.
Reliability refers to how consistently a method measures something. If the same result can be consistently achieved by using the
same methods under the same circumstances, the measurement is considered reliable.

Example: You measure the temperature of a liquid sample several times under identical conditions. The thermometer
displays the same temperature every time, so the results are reliable. A doctor uses a symptom questionnaire to diagnose a patient
with a long-term medical condition. Several different doctors use the same questionnaire with the same patient but give different
diagnoses. This indicates that the questionnaire has low reliability as a measure of the condition.

6.1. Accuracy in research

Accuracy in research is a research characteristic that provides a way to know how close are the sample parameters to
population characteristics. So accuracy means how precisely the measured value or findings reflect the real or the original values. By
measuring the accuracy of the research the researcher can prove that the research is generalizable, reliable, and valid. Validity,
reliability, and accuracy are three characteristics of research that make the research The measurement of accuracy can be done by
using statistical techniques.

Accuracy is to be ensuring that the information is correct and without any mistakes. Information accuracy is important
because many of the life of people depend on it like the medical information at the hospitals, so the information must be accurate.
Also, inaccurate information may accrue to typographical mistakes. ...
6.2.Example:
Accuracy of medical tests: When talking about the accuracy of medical tests, doctors and researchers use the terms
sensitivity and specificity. These measures tell us how well a test can identify whether an individual does or does not have a disease.
A highly sensitive test returns few false negatives, and so misses fewer true positive cases. A highly specific test returns a few false
positives. To illustrate this, let us consider a test for a virus. In clinical trials, the test showed 99% sensitivity and 96% specificity. This
means that, for every 100 people known to have the virus, we can expect the test to correctly identify 99 of them and miss just one.

6.3.Evaluation of accuracy and reliability in qualitative and quantitative research, secondary research.
In my project:

- Reliability and Accuracy in Quantitative Research:

 The confidence level with which my project results do not change over time and the correct and planned execution of
the research. Research results show the accuracy and reliability of the project.
 Accuracy of the project as evidenced by the results and planned figures that have shown the project to have high
accuracy and a great degree of success
- Reliability and Accuracy in Quantitative Research:
 Reliability of the project through survey and evaluation of the project to check the level of confidence that the
project is really good and goes as planned.
 The accuracy of the project is a way of checking or measuring the quality of the survey's planned research.
- Accuracy and reliability in secondary research provide documents and information with very high accuracy and reliability,
helping to plan and carry out projects quickly and efficiently. high success for your project, through the documents,
provided.
