The document summarizes a presentation on Stevens Shuttle 2.0, which proposes improvements to the student shuttle system. The current system is inefficient with unreliable wait times and not enough seats. Stevens Shuttle 2.0 would implement updated GPS, shuttle capacity tracking in a new app, and measure fuel savings. It outlines the solution, operation details, proposed schedule, budget, risks, assumptions, and stakeholders. The presentation argues the new system could save costs while providing a more reliable transportation option for students.

10. Proposed Schedule
Each stage will be monitored to
ensure that the project is on track.
Each team member is responsible for
certain activities
Communication and changes will
be on to the project lead.
The updates will be distributed in the
progress reports that will be sent out
on a bi-weekly basis.
11. Proposed Budget
Activity costs: $17,805
Material costs: $150
Allowance for extra
costs: $1,800
Total budget: $19,755
12. Risks facing Stevens Shuttle 2.0
Risk Impact
Not enough students respond to
the surveys
Smaller response sample,
responses not reflective of the
whole population
App development takes longer
than projected schedule
Milestones not delivered on time,
delayed project completion
Budget doesnt cover the entire
project
App quality may be compromised
13. Risks facing Stevens Shuttle 2.0
Risk Impact
Inaccuracy in shuttle arrival times
shown in the app
Passengers delayed
Hacks/cyber attacks App not working as intended,
accounts compromised
Unexpected shutdown in the app Students unable to notify drivers of
their locations / track locations of
shuttles
14. Assumptions
Budget is estimated correctly
Estimates for schedule and milestones are tangible
Facilities/resources we need to work will be available when
required
Risks, their severities, and mitigation plans have been properly
defined.
15. Assumptions
We would have a sufficient sample in the surveys to calculate
the Beneficiary Satisfaction Index
The solution proposed will save operational costs involved in
shuttle services
The shuttles use an average of 17 miles per gallon
Requirements are clearly understood by the software
development team
