Submission Format

The submission is in the form of an individual written report. This should be written in a
concise, formal business style using single spacing and font size 12. You are required to make
use of headings, paragraphs and subsections as appropriate, and all work must be supported
with research and referenced using the Harvard referencing system. Please also provide a
bibliography using the Harvard referencing system. The recommended word limit is 2,000–
2,500 words, although you will not be penalised for exceeding the total word limit.
Assignment Brief

You currently work as a product developer for a new startup where you design IoT products
for the consumer, corporate, government and defence clients. As part of your role your
manager has tasked you to plan and develop a new IoT product, service or application for a
potential client. You are required to identify a target user and conduct tests with this user
and include this feedback into multiple iterative versions of your product.

As part of this process you must:

 Plan an IoT application for a specific target end user and the tests you intend to
conduct with this user. This plan will be in the form of a document and will include
supporting evidence and material, such as user personas and customer journey maps.
 Create multiple iterations of your application and modify each iteration with
enhancements gathered from user feedback and experimentation. This will follow the
pathway outlined in your plan.(log book,)
