Part 1: Business case
Introduction:
Battery Power sharing app is an application that will enable people to share
their phone charge to another smartphone wirelessly. This process is a
similar way to the credit transferring service in Etisalat company, which a
person can send credits from his/her mobile to another person’s phone so
they can call/text whoever they want. Anyone who wants to use the “Battery
Power sharing” function will need to download our application on their device
so the process will be completed successfully. Our application will help a lot
of those who forgot to charge their phone due to their busy lives, as well as
those who are in emergency cases and need to use their phone immediately.
Business objective:
Battery Power sharing app is a perfect solution to a lot of difficulties people
are facing nowadays when their phone is running out of battery. The aim of
our project is to provide battery sharing from a phone to another for those
who needmore battery for their phones urgently. In modern society,
everyone has their own smartphone. Unlike the old days, phones are more
than just for texting or calling, but it acts as our mini assistant. It has all our
important personal information stored and we are able to do much more
than before, such as posting on social media, money transfer and even
business document editing that’s why it is important to keep our phone
charged most of the time. With our application, it can help anyone who has a
smartphone and attracts those who need to be on their own often, from
teenagers needing to keep up to date on social media to working adults who
need to keep an eye on the market, or even retired people who want to keep
themselves entertained. Therefore, on a business perspective, the
application will be very marketable as it is suitable for a wide age group and
different users.
Current Situation and Problem/Opportunity Statement:
The current situation is running out of phone battery when out. The
problem is most people forget to charge their phones before they leave
their houses, or they charge them and stay out for the entire day, thus
they disconnect with others for a period of time until they recharge
their phone batteries. Disconnecting from the world might result in
many issues or delays, especially that many people don’t have

portable chargers, or they don’t carry their charger with them. Assume
that you are having a long road trip using the GPS on that low power
phone, or working on an important matter, or even you are in the office
or studying at university, all of these cases can lead to delayed work
and submitting it with a lower quality than intended, as well as
cramming a lot of work in a short time resulting in stress. Hence, our
team came up with an idea of creating an application on the phone for
sharing/sending battery power that will help in solving the latter issues
and reducing the mentioned impacts. The application will allow users
to share battery power in a simple and convenient way, all they have
to do is installing the application on both phones to be able to start the
process. This application will facilitate charging, limit overdues, and
willSave time, effort and expense.
Critical Assumptions and Constraints:
creating a new software as a battery power-sharing application, it is
possible to face future issues such as taking extra time than due to the
date, as well as it may additionally get over the budget that we used it
while implementing, as a team we assume that the application will be
appropriate to use it a different sort of ages and marketable as it is easy
and simple to use it.
Analysis of Options and Recommendations:
There are many choices for adopting this chance:
1- keep a portable charger with you, therefore your phone battery
will not drain.
2- Take you charger wherever you go, so if your phone battery died
you will be able to recharge it at any time.
3- Develop a new application that will allow you to share/send
battery from a charged phone to a low battery phone.
We think that the third option is the best solution, we came up with
this assumption according to the results after negotiating with
stakeholders.

Part 2: Project Charter and Estimates
Project charter:
A- Project Title:Battery power sharing application.
B- Project overview:
a- project description: This project will facilitate peoples’ life from
many different aspects, because sharing battery will allow people
save time, reduce effort, and lower expenses.
b- Business needs: every person that owns a mobile phone will
take advantage of our application. Being able to share battery
power will help many people who forget to charge their phone, or
lazy people who don’t carry neither portable charger or a normal
charger. Our business need is to profit from this application by
putting it in the market, we are depending upon the number of
people who will be installing and using our application, offering
the a month trial but then they will have to pay a subscription
fee with a handy price, this is how we will be getting our revenue
because we strongly believe that our application will be
beneficial for every phone owner, and in the future our
application will be a part of every person’s life.
c- Expected benefits: The power sharing application will have
many benefits for everyone who carries a mobile phone.
Therefore, our main and only target is phone owners, which is a
huge customer base, because nowadays most people carry more
than one phone. As mentioned before, our application will
provide a brand-new service with decent prices, people will
benefit from it because we will offer a solution to many problems

that are caused because of dead phones. In addition, people will
be benefiting from the application by saving their time, hence
they will be more productive and will focus their effort on other
things.
C- Project Scope:
a- Objective : The purpose of this project is to create an application
designed for people to be able to share and send battery power
wirelessly to speed up charging process, and to prevent from
disconnecting from the world as nowadays everything is done via
smartphones, it will provide solutions to many problems, some of
which are delaying work, losing time, and stress thus low quality.
b- High level requirements:
The high-level requirements for designing of the application,
it should have high-level encryption in order to secure the
confidentiality of data on both the devices, However, the
development team should plan a design a fully functional
technical plan for gathering technical requirements. And the
financial plan should also be designed after gathering an
entire list of the technical and other need of resources for
the development of the project. The schedule of the project
should be defined clearly by the project manager and each
of the resources should be clearly described as per their
designated roles. And the coding should be documented
properly in order to help the development team for post-
maintenance works over the application.
c- Major deliverables:

d- Project boundaries/exclusions:
. security technique would not be widely discussed with the
other teams involved within the project The application
would not be supportable for phones other than smart
phones operating systems.
D-Estimated project duration:
a- Timeline:The project will initiate from 15/03/2019 and will be
completed by 12/05/2019. the estimated range for the
project is 3 months. The expected duration of the project
would incur all the activities necessary for completion of the
project. All the incurred costs would be dependent on the
duration of project
b- Major milestones:
The major milestones of the project are:
Milestone Start day Finish day

WBS:
E- Budget estimate (very high level)

F- Project assumptions/constrains/risks
a- Identify assumptions:
While doing this project, we have put several assumptions under
considerationwe expect happening in the near future:
 The application will be very marketable and successful, as it is
suitable for a wide age group and different users.
 The project may take more time in developing this function as
well as the application.
 Making the application easy to use and design it in a simple
and clean design, so it can be attractive for different typesof
users.
 The application will be used by users all around the world.
 Having a perfect plan before implementing the application to
manage the time, so we can finish it on the exact due date we
decided on.

b- Constraints on the project:
We are hoping we don’t face any constraints during this project.
However, we must list and think of every possible problem that may
happen in the future. we are trying our best to manage the
payment costs of this project,so we don’t face any budget problems
while implementing the application. Our budget for this project is
2,128,288AED, sowe requested Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashed Al
Maktoum Funds for a 2,500,000 AED loan, as you can see, the loan
is more than our budget because we have to save 200,000 AED for
any emergency uses.
c- Risk analysis:
The idea of our project is creative and has not been done before, so
to make everything successful we need a well-trained people to
implement everything required for this project. In fact, there are
many risks that we could face on this project if something went
wrong:
 Not findingqualified people to implement the application and
design it properly.
 Not having enough budget to pay the people who are going
to do the application and design it, and for the other fees that
might come up later during the implementation.
 Not finishing the project on the time that we are expecting.
 Being delayed on a particular step, which will affect the entire
project plan.
