Figure 1 : Weather Reporting based on IoT(Walker, 2015) 1.3. Project management Project management is the process of leading the work of a team to achieve all project goals within the given constraints. This information is usually described in project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process. The primary constraints are scope, time, and budget. The secondary challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and apply them to meet pre-defined objectives.(Walker, 2015) 1.4. Software project A Software Project is the complete procedure of software development from requirement gathering to testing and maintenance, carried out according to the execution methodologies, in a specified period of time to achieve intended software product. (Walker, 2015) 1.5. Project management of software engineering Software project management is dedicated to the planning, scheduling, resource allocation, execution, tracking, and delivery of software and web projects. (Walker, 2015) Project management in software engineering is distinct from traditional project management in that software projects have a unique life cycle process that requires multiple rounds of testing, updating,
and customer feedback. Most IT-related projects are managed in the Agile style to keep up with the increasing pace of business and iterate based on customer and stakeholder feedback. (Walker, 2015) 1.6. Project inception Project Inception is a preliminary phase in most projects to explore the reason for starting a project, identify a solution for implementation, define benefits to be gained upon successful completion, estimate time required to do the project, and request for funds necessary for project execution. The purpose is to begin to define the overall project parameters and establish an appropriate management environment required to launch and manage the project. (Walker, 2015) 1.7. Project Planning Project planning is a discipline for stating how to complete a project within a certain timeframe, usually with defined stages, and with designated resources. One view of project planning divides the activity into: (Walker, 2015) Setting objectives (these should be measurable) Identifying deliverables Planning the schedule Making supporting plans Supporting plans may include those related to: human resources, communication methods, and risk management. (Walker, 2015) 1.8. Project execution Project Execution is the performing the project scope of works and activities in accordance with the project baselines, plans procedures, and resources for the project interface, change, schedule, cost, risk, quality, safety and environment management, and other contractual requirements. The key success factors for the project execution are well defined project definitions, and roles and responsibilities, organized and building the team works, and accurate status reporting including forecast, timely decision making under the leadership of the project managers controls within internal and external organizations. (Walker, 2015) 1.9. Closing a project
country. Similarly, any time we want to know the humidity or temperature of any possible instrument, we must use a separate reporting system. There are many systems available in the market, but they are very expensive as well as inaccurate, accurate and effective. Besides, these systems do not have LCD screens. Here we have designed a device called IOT weather reporting device, which is more accurate, more accurate and more efficient as well as less inferior than other systems. Bad climate notification: This device also beeps to alarm the user when the temperature or humidity rises according to the set values. Easy to use and install: users can take this device everywhere because it is light, and easy to carry. In the future, this device can help human health: It can also be implemented in hospitals or medical institutes for the research & study in “Effect of Weather on Health and Diseases”, hence to provide better precaution alerts. Help people in farming: Weather plays an important role in agricultural production. It has a profound effect on plant growth, development and yield, pest prevalence, water demand and fertilizer demand. To produce more, the farming system needs real-time monitoring and updating of soil moisture, detecting rain and analyzing various data, and letting farmers know how to schedule planting time, nurture and harvest Low cost: currently there are many equipment with very high prices, especially large-scale farmers will not spend a lot of money to invest in weather reporting equipment, but in this project. In addition to accuracy, we also focus on cost, will optimize and balance and bring to the market the cheapest equipment compared to quality. The product is popular and attracts customers, creating a habit of regularly viewing weather forecasts for users: today, the change of nature and pollution are the causes of bad weather, especially natural floods in other countries. Although it rarely happens in Vietnam, every year in the central region, there are still bad changes due to natural disasters, so this project will integrate more good features and attract users, which can create for them. get used to watching the weather and avoid the worst case scenario
3. PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN: (P2) 3.1. Scope
Our project that I'm working on is to develop a weather reporting device that helps people to know the exact weather in advance and warn when the weather turns bad. User can check live data over internet. This device is like a small smart phone about 6 inch, in front of this device is a touch screen and attached to a small light bulb, this light will be turned on when there is an emergency alarm, behind the device is a hook. For mounting on a car or on a wall in the house, the user can remove the hook when not in use, it is placed in the house and on the car or truck. To use it, users only need to charge the battery for 1 hour. In this project, four sensors are used: light sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and rain sensor. These 4 sensors will recognize and analyze the weather such as light and temperature of the environment and give statistics to the user.. At the same time, the device also continuously monitors and reports based on the above sensors. The installed equipment is small, compact and lightweight. Sensors work on the principle of voltage and current. when the temperature increases or the humidity changes then its production voltage will change similarly. In the device, the internal part transmits data regularly and continuously to the microcomputer controller, which then processes the data and the data taken from the above sensors will convert to specifications, from which the parameters displayed on LCD screen, it sends these parameters to the Internet by IOT technique. This data is updated a direct update to see on the online device. In addition, the device allows users to set alarms for specific cases, the system gives warnings to users if the weather is abnormal. In any project, investors and project managers also want it to succeed. Therefore, the success criteria of a project is based on many small factors. Decision conditions are always achieved by completing the project on time and having enough budget to carry out the project. But the important factor is to meet the requirements of the customer. Finally the element of the user environment, when the user uses a quality product that meets their needs and is less prone to errors. The small factors on will become the criterion for successful project. 3.2. Time: In the scope of project management, time management is about using the amount of time allocated to a project wisely in order to meet scheduled deliverables and conclude all work by or before the project completion date. It requires project managers to keep their teams organized, productive, and prompt at all times, and it is a practice all project managers need to be comfortable with. (Walker, 2015) In my project, the scope time to develop the weather reporting device is from July 1st, 2021 to September 3rd, 2021
