Internet of Things (IoT) in an Information System Project

Research Topic: The IoT has already started to impact on the day to day interactions we have with

the gadgets in our home (smart homes) our office (smart buildings) and in the local environment

(smart cities). Explore the ways this may further impact individuals and society both positively and

negatively.

You are expected to carry out a small-scale research in order to explore the ways Internet of Things

(IoT) may impact individuals in an organization and society both positively and negatively from the

standpoint of a prospective computing professional.

IoT has already started to impact on the day to day interactions we have with the gadgets in our

homes (smart homes) and offices (smart buildings) and in the local environment (smart cities). The

Internet of Things (IoT) is the term which refers to the ever-growing network of physical objects with

embedded sensors which can connect together via Internet allowing communication to occur between

these objects and many other Internetenabled devices and systems. The IoT is quickly becoming a

necessary aspect of people’s daily working lives. Physical items can now sense and collect data which

can be controlled through digital and smart technology. The IoT extends internet connectivity beyond

traditional devices like desktop and laptop computers, smartphones and tablets to a diverse range of

devices that can utilise embedded technology such as security systems, thermostats, cars, electronic

appliances, lights, medical equipment etc. These devices, often called "connected" or "smart" devices,

can talk to other related devices (machine-to-machine (M2M) communication) and act on the

information they get from one another. Along with the many benefits there is also considerable

concern over the IoT which must be overcome in order to harness the power of this free flow of

information.

This assignment focuses to enable you as a student researcher to explore the benefits of the IoT and

the most pressing challenges and how to overcome them within a defined period of time. The report

should include,

 A comprehensive project management plan

 Evaluation of data collection methods and data analysis tools and/or techniques should be

provided

 Appropriate recommendations should be provided

 Reflect on the value gained from conducting the project and its usefulness to support sustainable

organisational performance

You are required to complete the project within 3 months and the project plan and resources should

be finalized as per the requirement of the client.

TASK – 01

1.1 Define the scope of the project and devise aims and objectives of the IoT project that you are going

to carry out. You also should include a brief introduction to the selected company, explanation to

the project and other relevant information about research.

1.2 Produce comprehensive project plan including the following.

 Cost, scope, time, quality, communication, risk, and resources management plan

 Comprehensive Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with clearly defined activities and

milestones

 Gannt chart to illustrate project schedule with realistic time allocated for each activity and

clearly defined deadlines for milestones.

TASK – 02

Carry out a research by applying appropriate qualitative and quantitative research methodologies and

critically evaluate the reliability, accuracy and the appropriateness of the research methods applied.

your answer also should include a critical evaluation of the project management process and a

justification to the selected research methodologies.

TASK – 03

3.1 Analyse research data collected to support your research project using appropriate tools, techniques

and critically evaluate how selected tools, techniques uphold authenticity and the accuracy of the

data collected.

3.2 Draw valid conclusions and recommendations from the research data analysed and communicate

your recommendations to the client through an action plan. The action plan should include a
