Project Scope
Project Description
This app would provide a platform where people can use their personal vehicles for moving services for customers in their geological area. The potential customers would be in a situation where the objects they need to get from one place to another are way too big for their own vehicles. This is where our service is applicable. Our app would allow for these customers to make an appointment with a driver based on their objects’ dimensions.
Our app makes it affordable for a lower income demographic and college students, specifically, to move larger objects between apartments or even buy large furniture or objects at stores and get them home. It is our goal to make it possible for people with limited budgets to have our services at a discounted price.
Preliminary Features
· This app should have scheduling capabilities available that are easy to navigate
· The ability to upload the dimensions of the object(s) needed to be moved
· The application needs to be able to make an appointment with a driver once a suitable one is available and chosen
· A flat rate should be calculated based on the dimensions of the item and information should be made available to both driver and customer
· The drivers should be categorized as available only if they are compatible with the entered dimensions of the item
· An interactive geographical map should be available on the app and only shows within 30 miles of the customer’s location
· A payment function should be available on the app and is expected to accept: PayPal, debit cards, and Venmo
Exclusion List
· This app does not have a corresponding website and is not compatible with HTML
· This app will be used locally and will not be globalized in the near future
· This app will not be used as a taxi service at any time
· This application is not a store and therefore does not have vendors selling goods

Additional Project Issues
Quality
This project’s quality will be measured through scheduled check ins either weekly or biweekly based on the project timeline. This is accomplished through questions asked by the analyst to the client as well as having the client approve every stage of the project. This will keep the project on track and within scope. Once applicable, regular meetings will occur with the builder to explain scope and to make sure the builder is staying within the clearly defined scope.

All project members
Make sure to schedule appointments a few days ahead of time
and confirm each appointment the day before.
Procurement
4. For the purpose of this class, this application will only require
an analyst and a builder. This application will also require
some sort of software that the builder can use to prototype the
application. This project would also need a budget that is large
enough to cover one analyst and one builder’s hours worked.
The owners of this app may need to hire a sort of support
services that takes care of complaints via email. The cost of a
domain name and advertisement within the app store may also
be applicable to this project once launched.
Request for Proposalstatement of purpose
The goal of the project is to make a mobile application that lets
users learn and practice judging yoyo freestyles. The
application must be able to be used on mobile devices. The
objectives for the app are
· To help those who want to learn to judge yoyo freestyles for
competitions (rules set by the IYYF).
· To be used as a tool for clicking and tabulating scores
· To compare your scores with others
background information
“The International Yo-Yo Federation (IYYC) is a nonprofit
organization dedicated to developing and promoting yo-yoing as
a sport on a global level.” We are the governing body of all
state, regional, national, and world level yoyo contests. We
work to have our contests run smoothly and in a uniform way
with the same judging system across all events. According to
our studies, over half of the people who actively watch,
compete, and play yoyo do not understand the rules to the
contests they are watching.
This project will be handled by someone who loves working in
team, enjoys yoyoing and likes to get work done on time. scope
of work
The scope of this project includes:
· The app itself
· The ability for a clicker function (described in detail later)
· Ability to save scores for free styles
5. · Ability to share their scores and compare to others of the same
freestyles
Out of scope for the project includes but limited to:
· Website
· Registration for yoyo contests
· Streaming videos for judging outcome & performance
standards
The targeted outcome from this project is a design for the
mobile application to be made, not a fully functioning app.
This project needs to be done on time with the collaboration of
the whole team. We will be monitoring by checkups via email.
Our process for corrective actions are 2 formal warnings and
then removal from the team. deliverables
All products will be delivered by the schedule set below. These
