This assignment involves the preparation of a presentation (which outlines the project proposal and rationale)
followed by a Client Report which outlines the project plan, project scope and risk and evaluating the project
success.

 

This assignment has been designed to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your
achievement of the following module learning outcomes:
LO 1 Present and agree to a project proposal with the client.
LO 2 Use appropriate tools to collect, select and use information from a range of sources
LO 3 Evaluate the data relevant to the proposal.
LO4 Communicate the outcomes and recommendations.

 

Task Requirement
OVERVIEW:
Astra Plc is a small-sized company specialising in vitamin and mineral-based food supplements. The
company is looking to diversify its portfolio by launching a new health and fitness app in the next three

1. The presentation slides should be attached to the report as an appendix. Include speaker
notes at the bottom of each slide to explain the key points on the slide (Max 500 words).
However, you are not required to do a live presentation. Keep the slides succinct, and
you can use bullet points where necessary. The slides should be embedded in
the assignment, followed by the report.
2. Prepare a client report that covers the following: (LO2, LO3 & LO4) [1,000 words]
a. The Project Plan (discuss a plan for your app using a GANTT chat) (150 words)
b. Project Scope (discuss the app design and launch cost, social media integration; in-app
purchase; app customisation; testing of the app; launch of the app) (300 words)
c. Project Risk (what potential risks could impact the launch of the app, e.g., cost overruns, delays in
app design, design and compatibility issues; competition from other apps) (300 words)
d. Project Success (how will you measure the app’s success?) (250 words)
The report should be written in a formal business report format, consisting of a title page, a
table of contents, the main body of the work using appropriate headings covering the above
four points, and a reference list.

Referencing and Research Requirements
You must reference all information used in the presentation and the report, using the Harvard
Referencing Guide. You are required to include a reference list at the end of the report
arranged in alphabetical order irrespective of the sources.
You can access guidance to Harvard referencing here:
