Assignment Brief and Guidance
Scenario:
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 the internet allowing communication to occur
between these objects and many other Internet- enabled devices and systems.
The IoT is quickly becoming a necessary aspect of people’s daily 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 utilize 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

PROJECT CHARTER
Description
The internet of things application for pet care, which is the system of equipment such as health/activity
monitors, smart feeders, interactive cameras, etc. Smart collars and wearable tags can be used to keep
track of your pet’s wellbeing that are equipped with various sensors including temperature, heart rate
and respiration, activity and calorie intake, they can provide comprehensive information on the spot,
24/7.

LO2/ CONDUCT SMALL-SCALE RESEARCH, INFORMATION
GATHERING AND DATA COLLECTION TO GENERATE
KNOWLEDGE TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT.
I. Research Methods in Project:
The research method used in this project is qualitative research methods which also known as the
research used the word to identify concepts, ideas, or experiences.
In more details, there are three main ways which information gathering and data collection to generate
knowledge to support the project:
Focus Groups: Discussion on a subject between a group of people to gain views that can be used
for further research.
The second one, qualitative research may identify evolving attitudes within a target group and also, it’s
not bound by the constraints of quantitative methods that mean if answers do not match the
assumption that qualitative knowledge is equally valuable to add meaning and maybe explain
something that numbers alone are unable to show.
Third, A much more flexible approach is provided by qualitative research. Researchers may easily alter
questions, change the environment, or some other variable to enhance answers if valuable insights are
not collected.
The last reason is qualitative research can be more targeted which can be more concentrated, sampling
specific groups, and key points to collect meaningful information. This will help accelerate the process
of data capture and keep the costs of data-gathering down.

III. The Reliability and Validity of a Project:
This is a reliability and validity project because:
Research is Transferable:
In the broader context of other individuals and settings, it is important to understand the results
of the qualitative analysis and similar initiatives and approaches carried out in different
environments will be of benefit.

V. Process Model in a Project:
In this Smart Pet Care project, I apply the linear-sequential life cycle model which is also known as the
waterfall model that is easy to understand and use. In a waterfall model, before the next step can
begin and there is no overlap in the phases, each phase must be completed.
The reason why it chooses this model is the Smart Pet Care project followed based on the internal and
external factors of the waterfall model:
The requirements are displayed, documented, clear.
There are no ambiguous requirements.
This is Small-Scale Research which is very suitable for the linear-sequential life cycle.
Due to the rigidity of the model, it is simple to handle. Each stage has unique deliverables and a
process of review.
The process and results are documented very clear about such as logbook.
But because of using waterfall model, the Smart Pet Care project not allow much reflection or revision
which very difficult to customize and the excellent of documentation is extremely important
