Project Name: Mobitel Mobile Devices
Date:
Introduction/ Background
With the present global market undergoing a significant increase in demand for highquality and relatively cheaper phones from Mobitel, it has been worthwhile to explore the
different opportunities arising from the case. As such, there is a ready market for the
products that are affordable, while ensuring the quality standards are met.
Business Objective
The main business objective for this project is to create the mobile product that has
features such as multi-touch, a considerable screen size, and a powerful processor.
Equally, the aim is to complete the whole project within a timeline of six months, i.e., by
12th of January, 2021. This has been found to be an achievable objective since the initial
development stages have been finalized. As such, the remaining processes should be
completed in the next six months as planned.
Current Situation and Problem/Opportunity Statement
In the present mobile devices market, most of the products produced are of high quality.
However, the features on the devices are not as good as most would like. For instance,
the processors of most mobile devices are not as strong and fast as most people expect
them to be. Additionally, the prices of devices with better features come at a higher price,
which most consumers tend to avoid. This has posed an opportunity. In the plan in this
project, our model aims at producing devices with far much better hardware and software
quality and features at an affordable price.
Analysis of Options and Recommendation
In our project, we plan to adopt and maximize the money incentives offered to assist in
completing the project. Also, we plan to employ employees from other service providers
with an aim of reducing operational costs and reducing the delivery time. By leveraging
on technology effectively, the production process is going to be expeditious and thus
having a significant ROI. The recommendation in this case is leveraging on technology
by using technology experts who are able to hasten the production process while ensuring
quality is achieved on the devices.
Financial Analysis
Using the money incentives and other sources of capital such as funds from stakeholders,
the process should be achievable. Efficiency will be measured in all the activities
involved in creation, manufacture and distribution of the products. The uniqueness of our
product being the features offered at an affordable price is expected to increase the profit
margins. We also plan to diversify geographically so as to ensure that we can reach a
sizeable market. The firm’s operations have been seen to be more profitable in the long
run. As such, the profitability ratios are expected to be good.

Project Charter: Mobitel Mobile Devices
Introduction
The current global market is experiencing an increasing demand for high-quality, Mobitel
similar phones. While many people around the world require user-friendly innovative designs,
they are constrained by high prices placed on the brand. The project aims to develop a mobile
device with the same innovative concept and provide it at a relatively lower price reaching up to
50% of the original mobitel product.
Project Objectives
The project will focus on various features including multi-touch, screen size as well as the
phone’s processor. The aim is to complete the project within the next six months ending January
12th, 2021. The initial stages of the development have been completed, thus leaving the rest of the
process to be completed in the allocated time.
Measures of Success
Given the fact that the product will be availed at relatively lower prices, it will attract many
customers. In this case, the first measure of success will be evaluating the sales of the new product
to determine its success in the market. The project will see a shift of customers from other brands
like Samsung and iPhone if they are satisfied with the high-quality mobile device offered at a lower
price.
Assumptions and Constraints
According to the conducted research, 20% of Mobitel users prefer having a similar product
at a lower price, While the users appreciate the new screen size and CPU, they may likely disregard
the other features since the product is offered at an affordable price. The challenge is to complete
the product hardware and implementation that are planned to finish by September 2020.

Preliminary Requirements
Market campaign plans should target both android and Mobitel customers. The aim to offer
features found in androids and mobitel on the same device and at a lower price. The OS user
interface should align with the UI software of the original Mobitel. The hardware features should
meet the expectations of Mobitel users that include high-resolution screens, multi-touch devices,
and stability.

Plans to Manage Stakeholders
The stakeholders will be managed by building an understanding to allow for the availability
of resources that will guarantee the project’s success. In this case, any plans regarding the project
will be communicated to the stakeholders.
Reflection
The most challenging aspect of preparing the project charter was making plans to manage
stakeholders. In this case, it is difficult to meet the expectations of every stakeholder. Thus,
developing a framework for managing stakeholders posed a challenge in the making of the project.
