REFLECTION
My group consist of four members in order to collect relevant information and
description about iPhone XS to prepare an appropriate presentation respectively. It includes
gathering actual data about product description and specification in terms of evaluating it scope
in market for measuring forthcoming profitability of brand in proper manner. However, we
distributed our respective tasks and put honest efforts as per field of expertise to complete the
same for gaining better outcomes. I have a task to manage the team and prepare PowerPoint
presentation of gathered information about iPhone XS with mutual understanding and
suggestions of all group members. Moreover, it is important to analyse special features of iPhone
XS including largest display which is available in two sizes with super Retina. In addition to this,
it has surgical grade stainless steel, wireless charging and PVD colour process which provide
unique benefits of customers. Meanwhile, it is helpful to gain required description about the
given product by gathering desired information such as faster face ID, big screens and custom
OLED display which facilitate to deliver accurate colour in IT industry. However, it does not
leave space for finger print sensor due to having face ID specification which is an important need
of customer. Furthermore, we are doing hard work to know that nee innovative features of
iPhone XS are capable to fulfil modified requirements of product users. The feature of PVD
colour process is beneficial as it is used on its stainless steel band which beautifully
complements the glass covering.
MAIN BODY
What went well:
I have a duty to manage overall activities of tasks which are required to be carried out by
all group members in appropriate manner to gain better outputs. We have collected information
about product description including its unique features by using several sources such as books,
magazines, journals, articles and many more. I have applied a strategy to distribute required
period of time for particular task so that it can be done properly. At the time of making and
developing presentation, it is required for me is to take survey of some people regarding
company products which are offer by them. With the help of this, they are analyse and examine
their customers' needs and demand as they are make proper changes according to their
requirements. Survey is important for researcher through which they can easily analyse their
1

user's needs and wants in better manner. Then they are include such features which attract large
number of customers towards iPhone XS. Finally, it is necessary to make an appropriate decision
making which provide support to gain desired benefits in terms of preparing impressive and able
to convey required information to viewers.
Not so well:
We completed the presentation in perfect manner but faced certain issues during the
whole process. It has been observed by me that there is lack of mutual understanding which
creates several conflicts and problems among team members then it is required to resolve the
same as it may impacts negatively in presentation. However, it is important to for me to maintain
healthy relation between group members as it is significant to boost up effectiveness of project
along with managing accuracy of information putting in the respective presentation respectively.
Moreover, there is another problems recognised by me about insufficient sources to gather
information about given product and we have limited time for market research which create
issues of inaccuracy in conclusions about scope of iPhone XS in terms of grabbing profit share in
market. In addition to this, we have analyse opportunities and relevant issues in present market
trends which may impacts negatively on productivity as well as profitability. Meanwhile,
sometimes, several confusions take place while distributing tasks among team members because
two they all are relevant to same product so that I used to ensure about their daily work and try to
avoid issues. At the other hand, we have faced certain technical problems also while searching in
internet and preparing presentation which takes more duration of time. Furthermore, there is lack
of confidence in my group which consumes time to prepare them practically for the presentation.
My basic duty is to manage overall project with the help of managing team along with
getting work done by all team members in correct manner. I have decided to distribute different
tasks as per their field of expertise along with providing required period of time. However, it is
beneficial because people can perform their tasks with more interestingly to gain accurate
outcomes and chance of mistakes will automatically reduce. Moreover, I believe that having
clear concepts of particular field make an individual capable to sort out minor problems on their
own level immediately which is important to decrease negative impacts on respective outcomes.
Meanwhile, I monitored project activities on daily basis and make surer about their correctness
in respect of boosting up effectiveness of the presentation. It was necessary for me to take
suggestions from all the group members as I believe that decision making should be appropriate
2

because it will facilitate to avoid problems. I have thoroughly analysed that team management is
not an easy tasks because you need to think about everyone and then make any decision along
with solving conflicts to ensure peaceful relationships for completing the project successfully. In
addition to this, I have allocated all tasks such as product description, market analysis regarding
issues of opportunity, STP analysis for rest of group members and management for myself. It is
essential to complete these tasks in appropriate manner as it is helpful for our presentation in
respect of conveying correct facts and aspects amongst audience. Sometime, while making
presentation conflicts are occurs among group members due to various reasons. They are not
coordinate with their team members so this creates bad impact on work and delay in completing
the presentation. This is the major issue which occurs while developing presentation along with
group members who are not make coordination with each other. So team mentor require to
reduce conflicts and disputes that occurs among them at the time of preparing group presentation
and it is the main issue who will present it in front of audience.
Own's contribution:
In the presentation, my contribution is to guide and instruct everyone who take
participation in this activity and function. While making presentation, my rest of three colleagues
have targets to gather information about product description, STP analysis and market research. I
have allotted task to gain information about unique features of iPhone XS which provide support
to analyse that it is capable to fulfil desired requirements of customers or not. Another team
member is able to conduct research so that I prefer to allocate process of carrying out market
analysis in order to evaluate issues created in grabbing opportunities for improving profitability
of brand. However, market analysis is very wide tasks which are not possible to be completed by
single person so that I have allocated some of activities of another individual including STP
analysis for segmentation, positioning and determining target customers which are essential for
improving profit share of product in market trends. In addition to this, we have properly
evaluated a well known competitive rivalry between iOS v/s Android and Apple v/s
Samsung/Google which depends upon the high quality technological services to fulfil actual
desires of clients in correct way. Meanwhile, we have analysed that price of iPhone XS is
extensively high which results into reduced it sales. Furthermore, this product has a beneficial
opportunity as it consist most advanced processor which can be considered as unique feature of
iPhone XS in order to make it extra special than others. Finally, I have ensure that every task will
3

be completed accurately and we capable to convey our opinions about given product among
viewers properly.
Others contributions:
The contribution of others team members are also equal while making presentation.
However, I observed that analysed that one thing is common between us that is our honesty
towards work we perform individually and target to make more effective presentation. Moreover,
it is essential for us to establish more effective as well as efficient coordination among group
members in respect of completing overall project in perfect way. In addition to this, I have
analysed that managing a team is an important responsibility because without proper
management it is not possible to complete different tasks in right sequence in order to prepare
appropriate presentation about iPhone XS. Team members have conducted overall activities of
gathering information about product, its market analysis, STP evaluation and preparing
presentation successfully. Furthermore, we have decided to obey suggestions of specific team
member in particular field of expertise which facilitate to complete the presentation accurately.
Meanwhile, we all make sure to communicate every detail about individual working regularly
and take suggestions from each other which ensure perfection in our work.
