UBER NEW APPLICATION
Background
Uber has one of the largest audience base, as there are 3 million uber drivers who have
been spending nearly 8.5 million hours in the functioning of the entire system. Hence developing
of application that will be more user friendly will be benefitting the functioning of the drivers
who will be using the application that is being developed by the uber developing team. Hence the
developing team is mainly focused on developing an application that is easy to function with and
the drivers can perform tasks that they want to. Despite decreasing the complexity in the
functional process, depth of the application infrastructure is not affected.
PART 1
Project Selection methods that can be used for developing the new Uber application
The methods that are used for choosing of the projects includes the processes like the
80/20 rule, Strategic fit rule, Question project outcomes, Assessing of core competencies,
building resource capacity. These processes can be chosen for better decision making regarding
developing of the new Uber application. The main aspects that will be taken into consideration
for proper decision making regarding mounting of the new Uber application includes judging as
per the benefits that can be achieved after creation of the new Uber application.
The 80/20 Rule
Usage of Pareto law can be made in order to perform project selection process. Choosing
of 20% of the entire project will help in estimation of the risks that might evolve during
completion of the 80% of the project. This process will help in understanding of the
opportunities that might be present in the processing of the system. With the help of performing

UBER NEW APPLICATION
the 80/20 rule the developers of Uber application will be the first business organization of the
same domain to gain proper information regarding better understanding of the demand (Davidov
2016). After analysing the risks that are present, the main advantage that are gained includes
proper mitigation of the rule as the management of the project will be performed as per the issue
detection. In case the errors that will be detected in the functional process of the app that is being
developed includes the fact that the project can be dumped and not taken. In case the risks that
might be occurring can be mitigated easily then developing of the new application can be
performed. With using of the 20/80 rule rising of same risk can be prevented. Parallel risk
assessment can also be performed. Hence his process can be used for deciding whether the
designing of the new Uber application will be beneficial or not.
Strategic fit
Strategic fit process can be implemented for better understanding of the process that can
be implemented to complete the developing of the application development process. Idea is taken
from the developers of the application. The idea that will be taken from the employees will help
in better understanding of the projection of the completion of the developing process of the Uber
application (Bresnahan & Yin 2017). Proper definition of the scope can also be performed. In
this method a proper scope is developed by the board of directors of Uber and another scope will
be developed by the developers of the Uber application. This ensures the fact that proper
comparison in between the scopes of the board of directors of Uber and the developing team can
be performed. This ensures that better scope management can be performed as per the
performance of the scope of the business organization. A link in between the potential scope and
decided scope can be created. With this process the sustainability of the scope can be decided. In
case there is a huge difference in between the scope of the board of directors and the developing

team, developing of the new uber application will be stopped. In case there is not much gap in
between the scope that is set by the board of director and the developing team, the project of
developing new Uber application will start. Ability of negotiation is one of the major aspect that
must be taken into consideration for picking up of the project. This is one of the major aspect
that will help in deciding whether developing of the new project will be commenced or not.
Question Project Outcomes
Usage of the Question project outcome will be affecting the functioning of the decision making.
Proper questions must be asked as per the commencing of the realistic functioning of the entire
system. This includes the fact that the question project outcomes will be having an outcome
centric process and questioning (Cardona-Meza & Olivar-Tost 2017). The major aspect that will
be present includes understanding of the intrinsically plug in of the service. Proper questioning
regarding the understanding of the added value includes the fact that proper management of the
system will be performed as per the trade-off decision making process (Daneshpour & Takala
2017). Guaranteeing the project delivery after proper commencing of the questions includes
proper management of the knowledge upgrading and hence proper understanding of the project
success rate can be measured. Hence the main aspect that is required includes understanding of
level of success the newly developed Uber application. After measuring the success rate of the
developing of the newly developed uber application whether the developing process will be
continued or not can be decided.

PART 2.
Initial process group
As per PMBOK, initiation process deals with the stages that that performed before
starting of the execution stage of the application development process. The very first step of the
initiation process includes proper definition of the terminologies that will be required for
completion of the developing process (Andler 2016). The major 2 steps that are to be taken
includes creation of the project charter and creation of a stakeholder register.
Project Charter
The project charter is basically used for allotting managers for their respective job titles.
This is one of the major aspect that helps in better understanding the authorization of the
resources. Project charter is related with high level scope definition (Hornstein 2015). This is one
of the major aspect that the project charter is provided such high importance Project charter is a
document that is used for describing the entire documentation of the Uber application developing
project. The entities of the project charter includes title and description of the application
development process, describing the role of the project manager and the authority level. Business
case is also provided in the project charter (Kendrick 2015). The resources that are assigned in
the project are also stated in the project charter. Stakeholders and their requirement are also well
stated in the system. Deliverables that will be provided after the completion of the Uber
application is created along with the major objectives of the newly developed Uber application.
Risks that are present in the developing stages are also well provided in the process. After
completion of the documentation of the Project charter approval process starts. After completion
of the approval phase of the developing the new application, execution phase starts.

Stakeholder register
Stakeholder register is another aspect that is taken into consideration as per the
functioning of the development of the new Uber application. Preparing of the stakeholder
development helps in understanding of the responsibilities that will be taken by the employees
and the developer of the application (Varajão, Colomo-Palacios & Silva 2017). This system
ensures that processing of the stakeholder is one of the major aspect that will help in allotting the
tasks to the stakeholders and this will ensure that the functioning of the system will be well
estimated. With the help of the stakeholder register the main advantage that is received includes
having a better understanding of the job role of the stakeholder (Milosevic & Martinelli 2016).
Resource allocation can be made as per the functioning of developing of the stakeholder resister.
A better estimation of the time schedule can be performed in a better manner. With the help of
the stakeholder the main advantage that is gained includes better understanding of the system
processing. Proper detection of stakeholders will be helping the managing body of Uber (Ambler
& Lines 2016).
Input process
The input processes that will be included in this case of developing new uber application
includes usage of implementation of Project Scope management with the help of the performing
project management plan (Cramer & Krueger 2016). Performing of project charter is also used
for better understanding of the process. Estimating of the enterprise environmental factors are
also included. Performing of the organizational process assets also acts as an input tool that can
be used for better understanding of the requirements that are to be input for better development
of the new app development team.

Conclusion
From the above discussion, it can be stated that the functioning of the Uber app that is
being developed includes several aspects that the developing team needs to meet in order to
complete the process with highest efficiency. Several project choosing methods can also be used
in order to test the sustainability of the Uber application. With the help of the decision making
tool in case of Uber application the main advantage that will be received includes better
estimation of the sustainability of the project. The initial process group is also implemented in
better understanding of the processes that must be implemented before the execution of the
project.
