Tasks
As a member of Research and Development department, you have been assigned a mini-project to explore the impact
that AI may have on your assumed company system, its usage and the user experience.
You need to do primary research (both qualitative and quantitative research) and secondary research to find out that
impact and conduct a report for your research. Even it’s a mini-project, you must apply project management (PM)
techniques such as project charter with aims, objectives, cost etc. As for time management, you need to produce
WBS and Gantt chart with reasonable tasks and time. A project logbook is required to provide evidence of the
project development process and ongoing reflection for every week. This logbook will be needed later for your
reflection and evaluation in Assignment 2. As part of QA (quality assurance) policy, in the report you also need to
critically evaluate the PM process and appropriate research methodologies applied.
Your report must have an introduction stating the project aims and objectives. This must be followed by a copy of
your project management plan. Your plan should show the milestones when you will review with your tutor your
ongoing progress so far. You will submit your logbook which shows how you have carried out the project.
