Answer 1

2.1 Explain three criteria used for your Project Selection and Prioritisation Matrix. Provide the reasons why you chose each criterion.
Answer:

1. Improvement for awareness: Sometimes projects are not just about earning revenue and making huge profits, we need to think out of the box so that people can gain benifit from it and it can become a beacon for saving lives.
2. Cost Reduction: will help us in investing more on important factors, such as if we take an example of doctor facility application, we can spend more by hiring more number of doctors so that nobody has to wait till the doctor is vacant and all the needs of the customer are fulfilled in time so as to make it work for a long-time run.
3. Market share growth: In a competitive market, grabbing a bit more of the market share is always going to be an aspiration for senior leaders. Make this part of your project selection criteria and they will easily be able to compare projects that aim to grow market share. The way you measure market share should be transparent and easily replicable, with a defined definition and calculations that can be repeated for each project. This also helps with benefits tracking, as you’ll be able to look back (should the project go ahead) and compare what market share improvements were expected to what were achieved.

2.2 Draw the Project Selection and Prioritisation Matrix and explain how you are finally able to select the chosen project.
Ans:

	Gaming And Entertainment	Contact Tracking	Latest Updates	Contact Doctors	Social Media
Gaming And Entertainment	-------------	0.60	0.25	0.20	0.25
Contact Tracking	0.6	------------	0.8	0.75	0.85
Latest Updates	0.25	0.80	---------------	0.35	0.87
Contact Doctors	0.20	0.40	0.6	------------------	0.80
Social Media	0.15	0.80	0.85	0.60	----------------

From the above project proiritize matrix, we can notice that there are more points for the Contact Doctor application, as it is Covid-19, and entertainment is not an important aspect when it's about the matter of lives. So we can focus more on Mobile health application to contact doctors.

2.3 Write the Project Scope statements for your chosen project.
Ans: There are some existing doctor consultant applications which are already built on a large scale, our project mainly focusses on the trending diesease and only the doctors who are expertise and well versed in this field are taken into account. If we look with the business perspective, this can be a breaking point if we provide free medical checkups at the beginning, as more number of people will install the application and that's where we need to provide them with the best service so that they should use this app again in future if required.

Application updates are planned accordingly according to the given scenarios and from the outsets.
