Project Management and Scope

For my Project Proposal I had to take the following into consideration:
  • Lift pitch - this is a short description on the project
  • Summary - A little more detail is involved on describing the project
  • Research Outcomes (This was split into three sections)
    • Research Analysis - Analysing everything that I have done in my blogs and at other stages
    • Target Market - The age group that my project will suit the most
    • Techniques used
  • Conclusion - Summing everything up in a couple of hundred words about how you did tasks and brining all of the relevant information together.
Project Scope

When I typed this into Google, I obtained information that was already given out such as sitemap, flowchart and storyboards, but I was looking for something else that I remembered using back in first year. The feature I was looking for was SWOT.
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
I believe that this is a great aspect for bringing the Pros and Cons together and finding out what I am stronger at and finding solutions for my weaker areas. Below is a SWOT Analysis for my Project Proposal:
Strengths
  • Unique idea
  • I have a good knowledge of the subject
  • There is a demand
Weaknesses
  • I am a weak programmer
  • Time scale will be hard to keep to
  • It can be hard to gather information
Opportunities
  • Could go further than NI
  • Great Promotion/Advertising of services
  • A good investment
Threats
  • May cause controversy as services from different areas will be on the one page (I doubt it though)
  • Other's may adapt this idea
