I completed task 1 by setting up a work breakdown structure and detailed planning to get my
project ready for implementation. In this report, I will present the analysis and evaluation of the results
gathered from both primary and secondary research, in order to draw insightful and meaningful
conclusions. I will also share my approach in monitoring project progress using daily notes, and draw
valuable lessons for myself.
In addition, I will review the tools and techniques used in the research and data analysis process,
along with the pros and cons of each. Finally, I will evaluate my project management and implementation
process, including the activities carried out, the challenges I faced, and an overview of the success of the
project.
With the dedicated support of Mr. Vo Duc Hoang, I have completed this report in the most
efficient and accurate way. I thank him very much for guiding me from the smallest things in the exercise.
1. Interview
I have prepared a list of interview questions to collect user information: User reactions
when they hear that the Android operating system will function to limit the user's phone
time. and the user's expectations for the function of limited time using the phone on the
Android operating system. Then, from the user's answers to each question, I can analyze and
see the reaction and wishes of the users about the function of limiting phone usage time on
Android operating system.
The interview will have the opportunity to help us understand and analyze more deeply
the information gathered from the user because the time we spend with the user is quite
large. At the same time, interviewing helps us to limit the bias compared to the survey. But
the limitation of interviewing is that we must depend on the client selected for interview. If
the user is inaccessible and at the same time, if the user is absent during the interview, the
interview will not be completed as expected.
Evaluation: After using the method of personal interview to gather information about the
problem I have been researching, I feel that the interview is a popular, effective method that
people often use to gather data. Precise and objective. This approach can be implemented
relatively easily. Can be interviewed directly, or via internet video call interviews. And it has
produced the positive results I had expected.
2. Survey
For the survey I did create a form on Google Forms to send to people to collect data. I
use Google Form because it is easy to use for both me and the respondents, moreover it also
can synthesize survey results by chart, so it is very convenient for analyzing survey results.
Using the survey method has helped me synthesize all the responses of each user who
responded to the survey. I can compare these results or use coding to analyze the correlation
between two variables to find out how they are related to each other. But there is one point
to note when surveying is whether users respond according to their thoughts or what
influences them to choose that answer. This is very important because it directly affects my
analysis of the survey results.
Evaluation: Google form is really a good resource for creating surveys, simple to create
surveys and send them to anyone. It aggregates the results on one tab, which is easy to see
and easy to use. Also, Google form supports results analysis. Really very convenient.
II. Analysis and Evaluation result
1. Interview
When organizing the interview, there are two extremely important things that are who
the interviewer is and the main content of the interview. Firstly, I chose Pham Ngoc Tan for
an interview because he has a completely different point from ordinary clients. Because he is
a product introduction, that is why he has a lot of contact with technology products as well
as he can understand and understand the psychology and desires of customers, so choosing
him. That interview will help me get many meaningful suggestions. Next, the content of the
interview will revolve around the issue of how users react if they hear about the function of
limited time using the phone on the Android operating system and customers will expect
about new function.
Pham Phu Loc: “Android OS is a very good operating system today. It is always up to date
with the latest technologies, so it is well received by most users including fastidious users.
When using it always gives users the feeling of stable experience without sudden stops and
almost no errors. Above all, people can personalize their phones easily using the Android
operating system. In short, this operating system is extremely stable and meets all the needs
of users.”
Question 2: What do you think when we add a function that helps users manage their
phone time?
Pham Phu Loc: “I think it is a very attractive function for users because there are so many
users who are addicted to using phones nowadays. Phone addiction can cause a lot of health
problems especially for the eyes because when they use the phone, they always must look at
the screen of the phone from which they can meet. quite a lot of eye problems such as
nearsightedness or blurred vision. At the same time, they can use the phone without knowing
how long they have used the phone, there are many using the phone before going to bed and
accidentally this will make it difficult for them to fall asleep. Easily. If the Android
operating system has this function, it is a very effective solution for everyone, they can detox
using the phone.”
Question 3: What are you looking forward to in this new feature?
Pham Phu Loc: “I think this function will be able to help users set a time limit for their
applications with a maximum limit of 8 hours a day. At the same time, users can set a
schedule to remind the time to go to bed to avoid using the phone too long before going to
bed.
In addition, it is recommended to adjust the color of the screen by the hour so that it can
reduce the blue light in the evening because it will minimize the adverse effect on the user's
eyes.”
Question 4: What do you think when there are many opinions that this function can
collect user data and the company is selling user data to other companies?
Pham Phu Loc: “This is a painful problem because every product is encountered. I think
this function should be secure to avoid exposing user information and encrypting the input
and output information to ensure user trust.”
Pham Phu Loc: “I think it will help me a lot because it will help me minimize my phone
time and from there, I can do other things that are more useful than using my phone. Plus, it
can help me protect the health of my eyes.”
Question 6: Who do you think we should apply this feature to, or can we apply it to
everyone using the Android operating system?
Pham Phu Loc: “I think this function should be given to most users because for everyone
needs to control the use of the phone appropriately and avoid phone use addiction.”
Summary of interview results: After interviewing Pham Ngoc Tan, I got the results that
users are satisfied with the Android operating system, but it is being boring because the
company has not released an update in the past half year. Users are quite excited to hear that
2. Survey
First, to do the survey I need to prepare a set of questions to send to the user for them to
answer and send the results back to me for me to analyze and evaluate.
Survey questionnaire:
After surveying, I got a total of 33 results from customers. Next, I will analyze and
evaluate the results obtained from the client.
First, I will be able to identify the respondents: Most respondents are 18 to 30 years old,
and 18 to 45 years old. % and the remainder divided equally by age groups such as people
under 18, people aged 45 to 60, people aged 60 to 75 and people aged 75 and over. Next,
I can determine that 78.8% of the survey participants are Android users, from which I can
see that this survey is attractive to people. people using Android operating system. In
addition, up to 21.2% are people using other types of operating systems, from here we
can see that this survey also attracts a large part of people who are using other operating
systems.
The survey results that I have showed that most of users are addicted to using the phone
because only 18.2% of the survey participants used the phone for less than 4 hours in the
other day. over 4 hours a day. Of which, 27.3% of people used the phone for 4 to 8 hours,
33.3% used the phone for 8 to 12 hours and up to 21.2% used the phone for 12 hours. in
one day. If they constantly use the phone that much, they have a higher risk of developing
certain diseases of the eyes, facial skin, and knuckles.
I have noticed a result that users have had health effects from using too many phones yet
that 57.6% of users have had health effects due to their frequent use. phone too much in a
day.
Figure 5 - Have you ever tried to limit your phone usage time?
The results found that 30.3% of respondents were looking for solutions like apps or
anything to help them limit their phone usage. too much of the day.
The results I found that 90.9% of users participating in the survey are interested in the
function that helps them reduce daily phone usage time and reasons for users to enjoy.
that they believe that reducing their cell phone usage will help them be in better health.
To further exploit the value of the survey, I will encode the information that can be
encoded in the result table obtained to analyze the relationship between the two variables.
The coding rule was given by me in the first report.
Figure 8 - Correlation between cell phone usage time and likelihood of having certain diseases
The first thing I noticed is that there is a correlation between the two variables, which is
the variable the time users spend on the phone in the day and the proportion of users
who have been affected by health due to too much phone use. These two variables are
proportional to each other, if the time the user uses the user's phone more and more, the
percentage of users with some diseases will increase accordingly.
Next, I noticed the correlation between the two variables, which is the variable that
users have been affected by health due to too much phone use and the variable is that
users have found applications that help them reduce phone usage. The results show that
if users have experienced health problems from using too much cell phone, they will be
more likely to find support solutions that help them reduce their phone usage. for a day
in order to improve their health from getting worse.
Figure 10 - Correlation between people who have had health effects and their
consent to reduced usage time will improve health.
Finally, I found a correlation between the two variables, which is to turn people who have
had health problems with the variable that they believe that limiting the time of daily use
of the phone will help their health better. Between these two variables there is a
proportional similarity that if the proportion of people who have had a health problem due
to their excessive use of cell phones, they will be more likely to believe that time is
limited. Using it will help them have better health.
Summary of interview results: Most survey participants are young people aged between
18 and 30 years old and reach most customers from Android users to those who are using
the operating system. other. At the same time, users are addicted to using the phone and
they usually use the phone for more than 4 hours a day. But they are all looking for ways
to reduce phone use too much because they believe that reducing phone time will help
them have better health. Finally, users are very excited to experience the limited time
using the phone on the Android operating system on both the trial and the official version.

2. Monitoring Project
❖ Definition:
In large projects, project monitoring activities are often organized according to a system
of unique numbers to measure the effectiveness and progress of the project, with no
limitations such as completion time, cost, quality. and the level of project requirements.
The results of these performance monitors are often recorded and reported to project
managers and other stakeholders to assess the situation and make appropriate decisions.
Project monitoring is an important method to ensure project success and ensure that all
stakeholders can achieve their goals.
❖ Project monitoring methods:
Some popular project monitoring methods:
Progress monitoring: This method uses the schedule to monitor the activities in the
project and compare it with the planned progress. This helps identify slow-moving
operations and provides timing solutions.
Cost Monitoring: This method helps to monitor the costs of the project and reconcile
them with the approved budget. This helps identify additional costs and provide cost
control solutions.
Quality monitoring: This method helps to evaluate the quality of the product or service
produced in the project. This helps to ensure that the product or service meets the set
quality standards.
Risk monitoring: This method helps to identify the risks that may occur in the project
and put in place measures to minimize their impact. This helps to ensure that the project
is carried out in a comprehensive and efficient manner.
Employee Monitoring: This method helps to monitor employee performance to ensure
that they are working on time and fully contributing to the project. Feedback
monitoring: This method helps to assess how well it is expected to meet customer or
stakeholder requirements and expectations. This helps to ensure that the project is
completed as required and the objectives are achieved.
Apply monitoring project into my project:
Apply project monitor to my project:
In the project: "Building a computerized sales management system", I used the method of
using Project Milestones and a little bit of Agile Scrum to closely manage the progress of
the project.
Project Logbook for First week:
3.1. Trello:
Trello is an online project management tool used to plan and manage tasks in a
project. It is designed to support teamwork and provides an intuitive and easy-to-use
interface for project management.
Using Trello, we can create boards and lists to categorize tasks to be done. Each task
will be assigned a separate tag, allowing team members to easily track its progress.
Tags can also be attached to documents, images, links and comments to help smooth
teamwork.
The "Doing" table contains tasks being worked on by team members. We will regularly
update the progress of the tasks in this table to make sure everyone on the team is aware
of the current status of the project.
For the work that is being done, just double-click a job that you want to do and drag it
to the pending box and that's it.
I. Evaluate the success of the project according to the plan I set out
When I do project management work, I find that the success of the functional
development project that helps the user to manage time while using the phone is well
above the norm.
I assert that because of the key important issues of the project, I have meticulously
planned and managed it strictly throughout the operation. The first is about capital and the
use of capital because every project is active and requires money, if there is no money, the
project will be difficult to implement and maintain. At the same time, it is very difficult to
manage the amount of money for each item, requiring accurate calculation without
causing redundancy or lack. Therefore, I have identified and planned the amount of money
to be spent on each job in the project in detail, effectively, clearly and transparently. This
contributes to an increase in the success rate of the project.
Followed by an indispensable step is the scheduling of project activities to project.
Without this, the project will work quite vague and at the same time while the activity will
cause confusion for other members that they will not write what they need to do and the
timeline to complete is when Come on. In addition, the failure to divide the work will
cause the cost calculation for the problematic work, which greatly affects the project. That
is why I made a detailed plan by creating charts like WBS, WBS explanatory table, Gantt
chart, this made me able to navigate and know which work is important to do and what is
not too important. This contributes to an increase in the success rate of the project.
With any project, no matter how calculated, there are always unpredictable risks. So, I
did an assessment of the possible risks and sought to deal with them in a way that
minimized the loss possible. This contributes to an increase in the success rate of the
project.
Next, in order to do a project, I need to have good partners, so I personally select
people with experience and high professional skills to join the project. Next, I divide the
work according to each person's strengths and weaknesses so that they can maximize their
capabilities. This contributes to a rather high success rate of the project.
The most important thing is that I did a project feasibility study before doing the
project. After studying and evaluating the results obtained, this project is completely
feasible at an average level or higher. Finally, the confidentiality of the project, because
information, documents are the best things to be researched, if it is exposed to the outside,
it will greatly affect the project.
