Submission Format:

Format: This assignment is an Individual assignment and specifically including 1

document:
You must use font Calibri size 12, set number of the pages and use multiple
line spacing at 1.3. Margins must be: left: 1.25 cm; right: 1 cm; top: 1 cm and
bottom: 1 cm. The reference follows Harvard referencing system. The
recommended word limit is 2.000-2.500 words. You will not be penalized for
exceeding the total word limit. The cover page of the report has to be the
Assignment front sheet 1.
Submission Students are compulsory to submit the assignment in due date and in a way
requested by the Tutors. The form of submission will be a soft copy posted on
http://cms.greenwich.edu.vn/
Note: The Assignment must be your own work, and not copied by or from another
student or from
books etc. If you use ideas, quotes or data (such as diagrams) from books, journals or other
sources, you must reference your sources, using the Harvard style. Make sure that you
know how to reference properly, and that understand the guidelines on plagiarism. If you
do not, you definitely get fail

Unit Learning Outcomes:

LO1 Analyze what aspects of IoT are necessary and appropriate when designing software
applications
LO2 Outline a plan for an appropriate IoT application using common architecture, frameworks,
tools, hardware and APIs
LO3 Develop an IoT application using any combination of hardware, software, data, platforms and
services.
LO4 Evaluate your IoT application and detail the problem your IoT application solves, the potential
impact on people, business, society and the end user and the problems it might encounter when
integrating into the wider IoT ecosystem

Assignment Brief and Guidance:

You currently work as a product developer for a new startup where you design IoT products
for the consumer, corporate, government and defense clients. As part of your role your
manager has tasked you to plan and develop a new IoT product, service or application for
a potential client. You are required to identify a target user and conduct tests with this user
and include this feedback into multiple iterative versions of your product.
Part 1 (Assignment 1): For the first part, you must:

• Plan an IoT application for a specific target end user and the tests you intend to
conduct with this user. This plan will be in the form of a document and will include
supporting evidence and material, such as user personas and customer journey
maps.
• Create multiple iterations of your application and modify each iteration with
enhancements gathered from user feedback and experimentation. This will follow
the pathway outlined in your plan. (log book,)

Part 2 (Assignment 2): For the first part, you must:

• Show evidence about Developed IoT application using any combination of

hardware, software, data, platforms and services (video or images of your IoT
system with code snippet)
• Evaluate your IoT application and detail the problem your IoT application solves, the
potential impact on people, business, society and the end user and the problems it
might encounter when integrating into the wider IoT ecosystem
