superior to the products in the market. The risk factors and the quality control measures had been
defined and Samsung would have to follow this method to successfully develop the product.
However, agile methodology is a contingency plan which should be used when there is too much
deviation from the original specification of the stakeholders.

3PROJECT AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Project purpose
The project is aimed at developing a new Smartphone for the organization named
Samsung. The company will use their innovation and technological proficiency in developing
gadgets that provide them with cost leadership n the market.
Project description
Samsung is the market leader in terms of their cost leadership and they have provided the
consumers with smartphones at affordable prices by keeping the features same as that of the
other major companies in the market (News.samsung.com 2018). The market of smart phone has
become more and more saturated and in order to maintain their competitive advantage in the
market the organization is launching another innovative product which will increase their short
term sales and provide them with competitive advantage. This project will consist of developing
a product far superior to that of the products already in the market.
Project scope Statement
The project scope statement consists of the various factors such as project objective,
constraints, assumptions, requirements, deliverables, milestone and schedule (Harrison and Lock
2017). The project scope statement will define all these factors and in this current project a
project plan will be developed for developing a new smart phone for Samsung.
Project Objectives
The project objectives are as follows:
 Developing an innovative product to gain advantage in the market

4PROJECT AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
 Market the product
 Testing and launching of the product
Project Assumptions
The assumptions made in the project are as follows:
 The CEO, board and the other stakeholder have approved the project
 The different departments have been made aware of the project and its purpose
Project constraint
The time and budget of the project is a big constraint as Samsung uses cost leadership so
developing economies of scale is important in this project. Therefore, the project will have to
make sure that unnecessary over allocation of resources have to be avoided especially while
executing the non critical tasks in the study.
Project deliverables
The outputs of the different phases of the project are known as project deliverables and
defining project deliverables are essential to understand the variation in the results achieved in
each stage (Maylor, Turner and Murray-Webster 2015). The project deliverables in the current
project are listed below:
