Project Scoping Outline
The hypothetical project that I intend to work on will last 4 months, thus providing a
product, service, or result to the people and organization, is the project on developing a health
mobile application for the management of chronic conditions. Therefore, the mobile
application will be developed with the aim of helping patients and organizations on managing
chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. The project will take a duration of 4
months for development with different team members or stakeholders involved. The main goal
of the project is to provide a mobile user-friendly application or platform for healthcare
organizations and patients in monitoring health, provide consultation, receive medication
reminders, and enable telehealth communication.
Approach to Project Management
The project is a hybrid approach project based on the combination of different elements
of predictive and agile methodologies.
Reasons for selecting the Hybrid Approach
One of the main reasons for choosing the hybrid approach is due to its adaptability and
flexibility by allowing iterative adjustments and development regarding the feedback of the
user and changes in needs and requirements (Tolbert & Parente, 2020).
The second reason is due to the structured planning that offers a precise timeline and
roadmap, which is critical for meeting the standards of regulations within the sector of
healthcare.
The third reason for choosing the hybrid approach is based on its effectiveness in the
management of risk by enabling the early recognition of risks, thus mitigating the risks through
continuous reviews and updates.
3
The fourth reason is that the hybrid approach promotes the involvement of all the
stakeholders in the management of the project (Tolbert & Parente, 2020). This implies
facilitating the continuous engagement and communication of the stakeholders, which makes
certain of the alignment with the changing needs and desires.
The fifth reason for choosing the hybrid approach is quality assurance, which implies
making certain high standards for the project’s quality through iterative validations and tests at
different development levels. Therefore, it makes certain of the high-quality product or service
or results to the customers.
Evaluation of the Approach
The approach will work with the organization based on the value of the organization in
terms of advancement and the experiences with different management methodologies, such as
traditional and agile. Furthermore, the hybrid approach is well-aligned with the objectives and
goals of the organization based on balancing advancement with quality and adherence.
Expectations from the Project Sponsor
Initially, the role of the sponsor is offering strategic direction and making certain of
alignment with the goals and mission of the organization. Furthermore, the sponsor mainly
facilitates the ease of access to project resources and prevents any barriers hindering the
progress. Therefore, the expectation of the sponsor is the timely delivery of a quality, userfriendly, and functional mobile application. Furthermore, the sponsor expects compliance with
the constraints of timeline and budget as well as with the regulation and standards on data
privacy within the sector of healthcare.

Expectations for Deliverables
The sponsor has different expectations for the deliverables, such as the functional
application, continuous status updates and reports, integration with existing healthcare systems,
user training and documentation resources, and final project evaluation and report.
Project Objectives
The main objective of the project is to promote patient involvement by offering tools
to the patient for active management of their well-being and compliance with plans of
treatment. Furthermore, the project is aimed at improving health results by utilizing data
analytics on monitoring the progress of patients and intervening early enough when required.
In addition, the project is aimed at promoting effective communication between the healthcare
providers and patients through telehealth.

Project Scoping Outline
The development of new software for a customer as my outline product was one of my
past projects that had precise uniqueness and definiteness, thus making it an endeavour that is
distinct. Therefore, the main aim was to meet the certain needs of the client and offer a
customized solution of the software for the customer. The competition product within the same
project is Compsoft, which is one of the well-established and dominate software within the
marketplace. The product provides significant functionalities that are common to our softwaredeveloped program. The product is known for its dedicated support of customers, continuous
updates and interface that is user friendly. Furthermore, Compsoft caters to a broader range of
individuals and corporations, inclusive of small to medium to large organizations or enterprises
and establishes a robust reputation over a period.
In addition, Compsoft offers a wider range of characteristics or features that lead to
catering to general needs within business operations. However, the program lacks the
significant abilities of customization that our software provides. Therefore, our Software
capability is tailored to the functionalities of certain needs of the customers, which gives a
competitive edge within the niche market with the critical aspect of customization.
Furthermore, Compsoft surpasses on service by offering all-day customer support and
continuous updates of its software. Therefore, the dedication towards continuous improvement
and customer service helps in maintaining the trust of customers. Our software project should
also utilize the same operational practices to promote the retention and satisfaction of
customers.
The organization is aimed at differentiating itself by providing customized solutions,
thus meeting the needs of our customers. This is well aligned with the objective of the
organization of promoting the satisfaction of customers and promoting their long-term trust
3
and relationships. Therefore, the capability of offering customized solutions helps in setting
our organization apart from Compsoft as one of our competitors, thus focusing on generic
products for our customers. Furthermore, our organization puts a priority on continuous
advancement and quality software outputs, with a focus on advanced technology and an intense
process of quality assurance. Therefore, we can make certain that our program software meets
the standards of business operation.
