Submission Date

IV Name & Date

Submission Format:

The submission should be in the form of an individual report written in a concise, formal business style

using single spacing (refer to the assignment guidelines for more details). You are required to make use

of headings, paragraphs, and subsections as appropriate, and all work must be supported with research

and referenced using Harvard referencing system. Please provide in-text citation and a list of

references using Harvard referencing system.

Please note that this is an individual assessment and your report should include evidences to that you

have conducted a research to collect relevant data individually.

Research Theme: The environmental impact of digital transformation Research

Topic: The impact of digital endpoint devices and ways to reduce environmental damage.

“The amount of data created and stored globally is expected to reach 175 Zettabytes by 2025, a six-fold

increase from 2018. This will demand additional hardware and power consumption, which; in turn, will

increase the environmental impact of the digital sector and there is already increasing attention on the

environmental footprint of ICT equipment and services as they become more widespread in all aspects

of human life. It is the responsibility of everyone to take action in addressing the challenges of climate

change, as professionals we must also seek ways that the digital sector can play its part. While digital

technologies are one of the sectors that have achieved greater efficiency; achieving about 100 times

more computation power from the same amount of energy per decade, it remains unsustainable. The

sector must continue to seek ways in which it can continue to support and drive innovation while

addressing the global climate emergency for a greener and fairer future.”.(Pearson, 2022)You are

expected to carry out small-scale research in order to explore the impact of digital endpoint devices

and ways to reduce environmental damage, from the standpoint of a computing professional. The

research that you carry out can be based on an organization that you have access to gather sufficient

information to investigate the environmental impact of digital transformation.

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

]

TASK – 01

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

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

devices they use and the impact of them to the environment, explanation to the project and other

relevant information about the research.

1.2 Produce a 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 to investigate the impact of digital endpoint devices and the ways to reduce

environmental damage’ 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 top management of the organization through an action plan. The

action plan should include a justification to the recommendations suggested.
