P2 Project management plan that covers various aspects
For conducting study, a project management plan is developed. It consists of various
elements that gives insight about project. They are defined below :-
Cost – For conducting study, finance is required. It is vital element as budget is prepared on
basis of it. For this project cost required will be approx. £1500. It has been estimated through the
research and as per the activities to be performed.
Time – Specific time is estimated to conduct research. Here, a schedule is made that include start
and end of activity (Heldman, 2018). The time taken for this study will be 3 months. For
example; In the first month there are three activities need to be cover called; Identify research
topic, Review of Literature, and Drafting Methodologies. For the second month there are three
activities also included; Drafting Methodologies, Complete Proposal, and Designing
questionnaire. In the last third month it includes four major activities; Collection of data,
Analyzing data and interpretation, Discussion and Conclusion, and Submission.
Scope – This study will show efficiency of digital products designed to improve health and well
being of people. Also, how it has enhanced mental and physical health of people.
Quality – the quality of data and info has to be maintained. This ensures data integrity and
quality. Scholar will use system and database for storing data like DBMS will help in proper
management of the data.
Communication – It is necessary to communicate in effective way. This is to maintain quality of
data. Here, email will be used, because it will help in the share important files related to the topic
through internet in any time at any place.
Risk– Here, major risk that can occur is delay in study due to certain circumstances. So, this will
result in rise in cost. Similarly, increase in cost is also a financial risk like there is a limited
budget allotted in order to complete the project so, this can pose a risk. (Nonino and et.al.,
2018).

Resources- Several resources are required in study. They are HR, computer system, etc. are the
resources which are required for completion of project on time. (Nonino and et.al., 2018).

P6 Research methodology
There are various research methods that are used in conducting study. It provides a
framework to scholar. The methods are as follows :-
Research philosophy: It is the framework that shows how overall study is being
conducted and purpose of research (Holmes, 2018). There are different philosophies available
that can be used such as positivism, interpretivism, realism, etc. Here, positivism philosophy will
be used. It will help in giving factual data about to what extent life of people is improved.
Research design: The plan that is applied by researcher to interrelate various components
of study. In this different design is available that are exploratory, descriptive, etc. Descriptive
design will be used in study. It will relate what products are used in improving life.
Research approach: A systematic process that describe how data is collected. It enables

In present study, deductive approach will be used. It will test whether digital products have
improved life or distracted it.
Sampling: A method of selecting sample from population. It is done by two methods that
are probability and non probability. Here, probability sampling will be used. This is because it
enables in easy selection of population. The sample size will be 20 people who use digital
products. Here, questionnaire will be used.
Data collection: A procedure of collecting relevant data from reliable and authentic
sources (Israel and et.al., 2019). Primary and secondary are two methods in it. In present study,
primary data is gathered through questionnaire.
Data analysis- A procedure to analyze raw data in order to gain specific info. The data
must be interpreted properly to attain desire results. For current research, thematic data analysis
will be done.

P7 Evaluate accuracy and reliability of methods
