TITLE:
“ To Analyse the impact of IoT on the day to day interactions with the gadgets in smart home,
smart office and smart cities and also identify its impact on individuals and society in both way
positive or negative”.
INTRODUCTION
Project management considered as an effective practice to maintain each and every
concerned activities of specific project. Project management activities includes planning,
organising, implementing, analysing and controlling the specific business project. A specific plan
and its implementation is required to complete the project in a specific manner. The internet of
things improvises the living standards of marketplace as with this having both positive and
negative impact on the society. In this it is essential that most of businesses has offered relative
changes in the marketplace that is resulted in terms of technological advancement and with this
gadget modification is processed over a continuous period of instance. This report is all about the
Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on daily interaction with gadgets and also analyse its
impact on individual and society. The report below is based on Marks and Spencer which is a
British multinational company and founded in 1884 with having headquarter in London, UK.
The research below is based on Marks and Spencer along with the conversance of project
specific aim, objectives and conduct a small scale research through primary and secondary
research and this report also analyse the data implementation, finding, data presentation and
provide reflective report.
TASK 1
P1 Project Aim & Objective
Internet of Things (IoT) explain as a network of specific physical objects or things that
basically embedded with various things like sensors, software and technologies so that data
collection and transaction with the help of other devices over the Internet (Birkel and Hartmann,
2019).
As per concern of IoT different technologies, machine learning and time analytics is
considered through which working credibility is advanced in ordinate basis. For this living
standards and its capabilities both get advanced over a regular period of instance such as home
security, smart framing, ingestible sensors and many other prospect as well. Marks and Spencer

use all the things which help to connect with the internet and consider the easy access of all the
technologies and software. Proper utilisation of internet of things, Marks & Spencer company
continuously derive company growth and make the business operation more active and effective.
IoT devices such sensors, connectivity and data processing that is beneficial for the business as
in order to process various daily basis operations and functions in effective manner. In relation to
this different aims and objectives is processed as per concern of impact of information of
technology towards the growth and development of business.
Research Aim
“To Analyse the impact of IoT on the day to day interactions with the gadgets in smart home,
smart office and smart cities and also identify its impact on individuals and society in both way
positive or negative”.
Research Objective
 To understand the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) within an organisation
 To examine the impact of IoT over the advancement of organisation and societal growth.
 To analyse the opportunities that is developed due to IoT within the business and society.
Research Questions
 What do you understand by the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) within an
organisation?
 What are the impact of IoT over the advancement of organisation and societal growth?
 What is the opportunities that is developed due to IoT within the business and society?
P2 Project Management Plan
Project Management Plan considered as a collection of basic plan which includes all the
essential elements like scope of the plan, cost consideration and schedule of plan. It is contain as
a formal documents which generally explain how the plan of a project must be execute
(Spichkova, et. al., 2016). In this research, the project management plan for the Internet of
Things is about to discussed which explained below-
 Cost - Every project cost determines the whole budget plan as per the requirement
of the research. Cost consider as a amount which basically used by the researcher in
order to conduct the smooth research (Alur, et. al., 2016). Cost is helpful to
complete the project successfully. This research project need a budget plan which

shall used for conduct this research in a specific manner. For this project report,
researcher shall need to consider the cost £600.
Total forecasted budget
Particular 2019- 20 (£)
Technology expenses 150
Human resource cost 100
Equipment cost 150
Training cost 200
Total cost 600
 Time- a specific time frame is playing a most significant role in the successful
completion of research project. Research aims and objectives are useful to compete the
research on a specific time period. For this project, the researcher will need at least 10
weeks’ time and it considered as a sufficient time which shall be used by the researcher to
conduct research and its entire activities (Dey, De and Soni, 2019). The timeline that is
used to conduct this report is from 12 November and ends at 14 December.
 Quality- All the data and specific details and information’s which mainly gathered by the
researcher must be reliable and qualitative. The quality of information of data is
necessary in the form of research. Researcher used primary and secondary research so
that quality data can be collected. All the data need to be reliable and accurate in nature.
The quality advancement is always been required and with this effectiveness to achieve
long term sustainability and attractiveness is advanced which also pertain to achieve
standardised goals and objectives in timely frame.
 Communication- The importance of communication is more in context to completing
the research project in a successful way. A proper and effective communication is
necessary so that research can get quality knowledge and information in research.
Researcher can use some communication channels like phone, emails, online survet and
face to face interaction to collect the data ( Sterling, Brodowicz and Anderson, 2017).

 Scope- The scope of research is on a wider level. Internet of Things and its impact on
individual and society consider the main motive of this research. The scope of internet of
Things are very high now a day. Mostly people use gadgets and other electronic
equipment’s to improve their life style. As per analysis of impact of information of
technology ability of business to achieve research objective and aims is processed with
perfection.
 Risk- It reflects the ability to affect working range and its effectiveness through which
capability to achieve standardised goals and objectives become easier. For this researcher
ensure to implement timely based strategies and break the structure as per requirement
and necessity under which working tendency get affects in positive manner (Ghasemi, et.
al., 2018).
 Resources- Some specific resources like human resources, finance and assets helpful to
obtain the whole activities of research in a appropriate way. All the resources are
beneficial to maintain each and every research process.
P3 Work Breakdown Structure & Gantt Chart
Work Breakdown Structure
It is consider as a hierarchical structure that basically outlines the project and breaks in to
many smaller and more manageable and effective portion. WBS can be created by folder and
subfolders and also divide individual task into sub tasks. There are some level of this structure
such as ultimate goal level, project objective level, project output level and last activities
(Vijayan, et. al., 2018).
Work Breakdown Structure helpful in conducting the task of team in to effective form and this
structure mainly developed for the betterment in understanding of the task. The Work
Breakdown Structure is considered in context of this research project of Internet of Things for
the Marks & Spencer company are discussed below-
