Executive Summary (Assessment 4)

Project Charter (Assessment 1)

Project Title: Cosmo Project Charter
Project Start Date: 05/10/2023
Projected Finish Date: 05/12/2023
Budget Information $150,000 Total Cost
Project Manager: Taccarra Manuel
Business Need:
Cosmo Inc. has been a leader in wearable innovation and currently holds about 33% of the market share. It has recognized that technology is moving at the speed of light. To stay relevant, it must increase its market share regarding wearable technology. They understand that there will be many new entrants into this market space that can have an impact on their current and future market share which would negatively impact their earnings. The company must create a new marketing strategy that includes the Internet of Things, digital services, data analytics, and the latest mobile technology movement.
Project Objectives:

· Gain more market share.

· Target college educated people between 25 – 50 years of age with a n annual income of $75,000.

· Incorporate new technology trends into their marketing.

· Increase production to 25% and customers by 20%.

· Implement this marketing into the customer service.

Approach:

The project will use the PMI approach. PMBOK will direct it apparatuses and procedures. The project will follow the five stages: initiating, planning, executing, observing, controlling, and closing (Roseke, 2017).

*Initiating: Use of PMI and PMBOK devices and strategies

*Planning: Use of PMI and PMBOK devices and procedures

*Executing: Use of PMI and PMBOK devices and procedures

*Observing and Controlling: Use of PMI and PMBOK devices and strategies

*Closing: Use of PMI and PMBOK devices

Assumptions:

Cosmo Inc understands as the leader in the development of wearable technology, and they need to increase its market share because data analytics shows that consumers aged 25-50 that are college educated and have an annual income greater than $75,000 are starting to use the wearable technology more than any other group. The company believes it can increase its market by 20% and maintain its dominance in this market. The company is confident that implementing this new strategy will take ten weeks and cost $150,000. The company is expecting to increase their revenue by adding to the features of their device.

Constraints: PMBOK

Scope: Upgrade current product line and incorporate IoT, digital services, data analytics, and mobile technology.

Schedule: 10 weeks to implement and run a 6 month marketing campaign.

Budget: Total cost $150,000

Quality: Improved digital business with “mesh” embedded services.

Risk: The loss of market share, new entrants, and going over budget.

Resources: Using current technology like social media and data analytics to trach

consumer use and need.

Dependencies:
The finance team is responsible for tracking costs and keeping the team on task. Each department, marketing, finance, information technology, and customer service, should have expenses associated with the project assigned to each department, and the heads of those departments should track spending.
Initial Risk Factors
• Not enough funding, the project has the potential to run over in cost because of the three different departments that one person does not control. The departments only report back, which can be seen as a flaw.
• Project may take longer because the 10-week projection can rely on technology upgrades which often hit snags in development.
Regulatory Cost and Impact

· The average rate of regulatory growth drives up operating costs per unit of output by about 3.3 percentage points per year (Richards, 2020) if the project runs over a year then it will be increased by the 3.3 percent and this cost has not been accounted for.

· Regulations that increase operating costs often alter a firm's day-to-day operations in some way. Recently tech vendors have been compelled to adopt ‘privacy by design’ techniques during product development and ‘Privacy-as-a-Service’ over the product lifecycle (Thematic Research, 2022). The next step is to make this required which could change the cost for the company’s wearable devices.

The project sponsor Harold Living determined that because the company has become stagnant and the threat of new entrants is growing, he has determined that it is time to create new products and use the latest technology. Like many great leaders, he understands it is time for the company to reinvent itself and create a new market strategy to launch the changes. Taccarra Manuel will oversee the project, tracking costs and timelines to ensure success. Antonio Davis is the marketing director, and his team will create the launch of the new product and use the customer demographic to determine what current technologies should be used. Chase Parker and the technology department will work to integrate the existing ERP and improve the customer experience by incorporating IoT, digital services, the data analytics with the mobile technology movement. Lastly, Lacy Mound and the customer service team will examine data about the company's current level of customer service and work to create a contact list based on the customer demographics and offer them the chance to get the upgraded wearable devices once they are available.
