Metropolitan I.T. Infrastructures Semester Project:

Project Report Part 1 – Project Analysis

Submit:

 

Your group project report part 1 – Project Analysis needs to be submitted with a cover page, electronically through Blackboard on or before the due date. Be sure to include the names of all group members.

 

Description:

 

In this phase of the semester project, we will focus on getting started with a team of 3 – 4 students towards the development of a formal report addressing the needs of a particular area (Objective 1). This will be from the perspective of a startup company proposing technological solutions for your target area’s problems. Once your team is established, choose a particular area within the Baltimore Metropolitan area and identify several major persistent issues within that area in which a technological solution could help substantially alleviate such issues. Your team will also need to act as a business that will propose creative and transformative solutions.

 

Once your team, area, and issues have been identified, your group will need to submit the following information in the form of a report. I would strongly encourage that each point contain substantial detail, explanation and support. This document will serve as a basis for later parts of the semester project and other assignments. As discussed during the research class lesson (Objective 2), information should conform to APA style. If you are unsure of the correct APA citation style, please refer to the Cook Library citing sources page, or visit your section of the course gateway page provided by the reference librarian. Your resources should come from a variety of domains, as all the topics of the group research paper should include social, cultural, economic and technical perspectives (Objective 3). Your list of sources should primarily consist of peer-reviewed scholarly articles, current data and statistics. Please refer to the library session notes for a list of the types of sources.  Each resource will substantiate the arguments you wish to include in your group research paper, following the sample outline below. It is essential that your information for this phase of the project is well supported, logical and compelling based on the problem areas you have identified (Objective 4).

 

The sample outline below is just one of many outline possibilities of how to summarize the report but at least should include the following information. It is up to the group how to present the information, but all points must be addressed. During each phase of the semester project we will be correcting, updating and expanding the document moving forward to the final product that will be due at the end of the semester which the group will present to the class.

I. THE BUSINESS

A.      DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

In this section, provide a detailed description of the business. Include your products/services/ solutions that will solve these problems, as well as a thorough description of what makes your business unique. The description of the business should have two main sections: the first section describes the business, while the second section describes the product /service/solutions you will be offering based on the preliminary data you uncover about your selected area.

The description of the business should clearly identify the business's goals and objectives (its “mission”). When describing the business, generally you should also explain: 

Include a description of what makes the business unique and how or why its unique aspects will appeal to the city or area that you are targeting. Emphasize any special features that you feel will appeal to customers and explain how and why these features are appealing. 

B.       Analysis of target area: Our targeted area is Baltimore city, USA.

 

 

 

I have this information, and based on that, Do only A and B under THE BUSINESS:

 

(What sort of company is it?) EZ Trash is a garbage collecting company that supplies trash cans and dumpsters throughout Baltimore City. Trash cans will be placed throughout the streets and dumpsters in apartment complexes and large communities.

 

(Where is your targeted area/ what are the general problems you hope to solve?) Our targeted area is Baltimore City, Maryland and the problem is to find a solution to dumpsters that get full quickly.

 

 (What are the product/services/solutions that you will provide to solve the identified problems, and what's special about your approach?) Each designated area will have two dumpsters, one open and one closed. When one dumpster/trashcan fills, a sensor will close it and the other unit will open to allow for more space for trash. When one dumpster/trashcan becomes full, a signal will be sent to the EZ Trash garbage collectors for prompt pickup.
