2- The project.
Amusement centre web and mobile application development, are the two different types
of projects, that individual effort to accomplish in appropriate and effective manner (Rajvanshi
and et.al., 2021). In order to develop the both projects, developer may utilize specific software
tools such as HTML, CSS, JAVAScript. Each software tool that IT team used, for purpose of
designing or developing a mobile application and amusement centre app, play vital role to make
these two project successfully. As it enable them to provide and enhance customer satisfaction
level, especially when they want to take rest and keep themselves away from hectic work
schedule. Along with above, there are different forms of software tools available in the world of
business that a data analyst or web developer utilized in order to develop a website or application
that help them to provide the best services to customers or target market (Aziz and et.al., 2021).
Web.com, Sass, NPM and chrome dev-tools are the most effective tools that utilize in the context
of both above discussed project, as each project is related to IT.
Problems and their solutions-
While taking initiatives and proceeding further in the context of amusement centre web
and mobile applications projects, there are several issues raised, that put negative impact on
success of each project. Cost overrun is the main issue that web and app developer encounter
during the process of developing both projects (Shoar, Chileshe and Edwards, 2022). It may lead
to decrease the effectiveness of IT team to design a web and app in appropriate manner. Another
issue that they may encounter is lack of resources as skilled people who can contribute to make

each project successful. The best ways to solve the first issue is appropriate budget planning,
including some additional amount that help further to develop a web and mobile application.
Another solution regarding second challenge is appropriate planing related to recruitment and
selection, which enable management to succeed.
My contribution in projects-
It is important for me make valuable contribution in project success context, in term of
providing strategic directions as it was a team project. Therefore, each team member require a
specific direction or guidance that aid to move ahead with better plan and tactic. I can support
my team members to design or develop the best amusement centre web, which in turn provide
users a lot of benefits such as information about an amusement and services that it might be
offered to individual person who visit the place.

In the context of placement projects, I am well-prepared, because of having skills that are
required to complete each project in appropriate manner. I am posing better knowledge about
communication skill that play important role in the context of career success and growth,
whether it is related to personal or professional. Logic and computation is one of those modules
regarding which I will utilize the current skill. I am well-prepared for my placement projects, due
to pose good knowledge about researching skills that also play significant role in my placement
success. It makes me capable to work on network, and operating systems, graduate development
and other forms of modules, that teach a specific lesson to me and provide useful knowledge that
I will apply further as when it requires.
However, I also want to shed lights on my weaknesses that will put negative impact on
my work in the future when I will initiative to complex a project during placement, which is
quite essential for me to do so systematically and effectively. Therefore, I need to develop some
skills that play crucial role in the context of placement success. As it enable me to complete each
project in appropriate manner, that is essential for me to do that. I want to develop Java skills,
algorithm and other that allow to prepare myself for placement projects that I will tend to
complete and obtain benefit of each in form of gaining knowledge about varied aspects or
concepts that teach a great lesson to me.
5- Skills required
The success of any project or task is possible when individual person who are responsible
to accomplish the work have appropriate skills and competencies. As each skill and competency

play significant role in the context of their success and achievements, better than last few
projects or tasks. There are different types of skills are required to complete a project in
appropriate manner in term of providing desire outcomes to the administration. Like others, I
also want and tend to develop some required and essential skills that play important role in the
context of my career success and growth. Microsoft share point is one of those competencies
that I would seek to develop as it is useful and beneficial for my performance. The chosen skill
encompasses some activities or terms that make it more effective than the other skills in the
world that individual person have and utilize in appropriate manner. Another skill along with
current one, I need to develop is presentation skill. In the context of my existing experience, the
development or learning of both skills is quite difficult as it is a lengthy procedure that put
adverse impact on my work and effectiveness. There are several forms of additional modules
accessible that would have been provided the best support to me in term of providing benefits.
The training and development module would provide benefit to me in term of offering chance to
get more knowledge about the skills that I want to develop in effective manner for purpose of
completing complex project. I did number of research in order to improve my skills and
knowledge about a project that I plan to undertook during placement. It is quite essential for
anyone to improve or develop those skills that help them to reach desire outcomes in effective
manner that affect positively upon the way they perform and do their job. During my placement I
had undertook different forms of research in the context of several topics. This period had teach
me a great lesson in form of skills development. Placement refer to process of placing or
providing individual chance to grab the best growth chances. It is also defined as act of
managing people or human resource into a specific order. Placement put positive impact on my
choice of final year modules in form of providing better understanding about useful elements that
I will use further to achieve key aim and objectives of research. It provided me chance to get data
about those things that help in regard to final year modules.

8- Case study and testimonial
degree course and reason of doing it
I found the work of a data analyst very interesting and with the time the use of digital
tools and technologies is becoming so often so with this regard the opportunities in this sector is
very high, further I share my interest domain with this discipline so chosen it as discipline.
Placement decision
I personally believe that the real work experience is bigger than anything, so I decided to
go for it where I learnt various aspects of my job area. Further it enhanced my confidence in
working with team members. Some other reasons were to realize the aims I used to feature for
my career and without putting yourself on the real battle ground can not assess owns value
perfectly.
Motivation to apply in the company
As the company is having good name and brand in the market, with my self research I
found it better place to work. The most significant aspect is learning for a new person so the
work environment and efficiency, legality aspects motivated me to join the company.
Most difficult interview question
When I was asked to predict the future of data security and web development. It is very
difficult since the growth of science and technology is enormous, any prediction would go wrong
due to over drastic nature of the field, so I found that question very difficult to address.
Skills developed
I leant a lot in the company but the most important thing is how to work with
collaboration and also enhancing the learning capability. I have developed my professional
competencies in order to make it more thriving in my futuristic aims.
Enjoyment of placement
Working in the field of your preference is always a great matter of joy. I learnt a lot of
professional things but on the other side getting social recognition, admiration, suggestions,
validations made this journey sweet.
9- Evaluation
For Achievement of learning objectives I have decided my objectives such as
developing programming skills, Java skills, developing AI knowledge (Ai-ris, 2021) and one
challenging objective was to improve algorithmic knowledge so can perform better so going with

the decided plan I have achieved the objectives to a satisfactory level. For achieving each
objective well articulated roadmaps were followed.
On the placement there has been a number so such influential impacts such as I found
people with higher data analysis skills, good sense of humour, hyper soft skills and ability of
developing applications etc. which influenced me.
On placement, I have learnt couple of new aspects, having Evidence as instance- Getting
admired on the workplace, contributed in team projects, achievement as a member of team,
developed skills pertain to my objectives are great testimony of learning.
To support my learning I followed different approaches such as taking challenges,
allowing outer forces to offer challenges, inculcating new aspects, working on my poor areas and
soaring my area of dominating.
While working some problems also came on the way like I found enhancement of
technical skills a bit tougher, AI had been a horrific area yet by better efforts I made it in my
favour. The horrendous problems offered by working on my Algorithmic knowledge where a
range of new things I came across but by proper application of the strategies it came to my way
and became handy to me and overcome.
My working experience has shown some dark sides to like couple of times made some
mistakes such as while learning algorithms I used repetitive codes, language overloads,
complicated codes etc. Consequently, I faced failures in beginning, but then I have made some
changes as per guidance of the team members and made it easier so had been a great
achievement and also raised my sphere of responsibilities too as a professional. Along with
such technical skills some non-technical skills as soft skills, leadership also got thrived on the
workplace due to intensive efforts of learning. My efforts further improved my quality and level
of knowledge.
The major achievements on the project was to achieve all the objectives to satisfactory
level on which I am having great proud. By clearing IT features such as Algorithmic skills I have
made intensive contribution to my organization. With this regard I am having positive feelings
and thoughts, also paved way for my personal development.
10-Training
For hiking the performance and making new joiners appropriate to work on the job
company is having a well-structured training programme. In this programme firstly a chain of

basic channel is carried out, where new entrants learn basic aspects such as basics of the
company, their work culture, job and areas they are serving then their objectives, vision, mission
etc. so employee can perceive entire picture. We were also taught the mechanism of working and
other key dimensions such as operating various systems and apps, technologies company is
practising. In the same order an orientation class was arranged where all new entrants met each
other and key position holders of the company.
Company is having a pre decided Formal training course, where a web based training is
carried out and every new entrance is required to join it for fifteen days. In formal training every
day one hour classes were arranged and new entrants were given basis understanding of their
work, since all the entrants had good understanding of the area they were supposed to serve but
lack of professional competence was weakening their fort so with this regard the training
programme has been featured. Then as informal training all the employees are trained on the
job by their trainees who were senior employees of the company. I have received the both
training simultaneously which not only made me learn more about my area of interest.
After the pre-decided time the performance of the all new entrances got appraised where
I also participated. It was 360 degree appraisal scheme where all key stakeholder participated
and extended their views, in this appraisal approach salient dimensions of the employees were
articulated by the people who were interacting on daily basis, as outcomes some subsequent
actions were taken, for instance- people with poor performance were given next deadline for
training, who performed good were appreciated and given more scope to improve their skills.
11-Link with industrial activity and employability
The workplace year has been very progressive and dynamic which imparted a lot of such
skills and pros which will definitely help in my future career development. As I have already
stated to forge my career as a data analyst and in IT sector where I share a great sphere of
interest.
While working, I have inculcated a number of adroitness for instance my capability of
understanding the professional competence working as a data analyst, which are those additional
qualities are needed for instance good understanding of data visualization, knowledge of various
computer languages, machine learning, AI and calculus etc. I acquired these things on my

placement what I believe in my future will be making the way barrier-less. The all acquired
learning will be taken forward into my future workplace.
My learnings on the placement is having its great influence on my employability
profile too. Earlier I did not have work experience which was depicting me as novice, the
modern organization generally show their negative approach for green talent, due to higher cost
of transformation of their bookish skills into professional and working skills, so they keep hiring
experienced people.
It I talk about some of my additional skills where I am not performing good and facing
lacunas for instance- My professional understanding is good yet in a few areas I feel lower
confidence, poor communication too and which ultimately ended up as big shortcomings, also
affect my performance in adverse direction. For eradication of these horrendous shortcomings
I am planning to abide with some set of practices as being stable and keeping clear voice, making
good eye contact, carefully listening, understanding the antagonists, also keeping the discussions
in win- win phase. These all techniques would be helping in wiping out the shortcomings but at
the same time shall hike my expertise of working on my dominating area.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of above discussion, it has been concluded that management had created the
best and appropriate mobile application as well as amusement centre web, which enable them to
connect with people and give them excellent experience while using the two elements. They had
achieved aims and objectives in form of developing skills and improving the same after
conducting skills analysis. Furthermore, by summing up above analysis, it has been summarized
that individual had achieved their learning objectives and aims in term of obtaining placement
experience that had provided unpredictable experience to them by developing skills and
contributing to do so.
