PROJECT PLAN

Title of project: “Launching an electric car”
Overview of project- The project is going to be based on launching an electric car which can be
used without need of any fuel or oil. This project will save cost of users as well as make
transportation easier. One of the key features of this project is that it is cost effective. In broad
sense, this can be stated that after launching this car, a middle class person will be able to buy
car. At the initial stage this car will be launched in major cities so that customers review can be
assessed. As well as in major cities, there is possibility that people can buy new car. Along with,
the new electric car will be comfortable to use due to its small size. Users can use it for long time
period because its quality is good. As well as this car will consume less time and electricity in
order to recharge. Apart of it, one major thing about this new electric car is that this will be eco
friendly and it will not harm to environment. Due to these unique features there is a strong
possibility that this project will be successful.
Aims and objective of project-
 The main objective of project is to launch a cost effective electric car.
 To attain higher sales by making it’s affordable to all customers.
 To increase goodwill of company by making this product globally.
Problem statement- A problem statement is a succinct summary of an issue that needs to be
solved or an enhancement situation. It describes the discrepancy between a method or product's
present state and desired condition. The problem comment should resolve the as soon as possible
so that negative impact can be removed. In the aspect of above project, there is problem for
which this project is being launched:
The problem is to overcome consumption of fuel and oil as well as to protect environment by
launching this new car. After launching this car, there will be strong possibility that problem of
higher consumption of oil and fuel will be solved. This is so because in order to run the car, only
less volume of electricity will be needed. It does not need any type of fuel due to which
environment will be protected from harmful gases.

Literature and relevant secondary data: A study of literature or narrative is a form of review
paper. A research paper is a research which introduces the existing understanding with
significant findings and theoretical and methodological to a specific subject.
For the above project, literature review will be done on the basis of opinion of various authors.
As well as secondary data will be collected from external sources which are as follows-
1 Customers
2 Existing car owners
3 Big car companies
Conclusion and assessment type:
Based on above part, this can be concluded that project is based on launching an electric
car. The estimated time for this project will be of 35 weeks in which different types of activities
will be performed. Herein, below some activities are mentioned:
Activities
Planning initiation
Resource planning
Quality planning
Gathering business needs
