Assignment Brief and Guidance:

Introduction to theme
The environmental impact of digital transformation
The amount of data created and stored globally is expected to reach 175 Zettabytes by 2025, a six-fold
increase from 2018. This will demand additional hardware and power consumption, which; in turn, will
increase the environmental impact of the digital sector and there is already increasing attention on the
environmental footprint of ICT equipment and services as they become more widespread in all aspects of
human life.
It is the responsibility of everyone to take action in addressing the challenges of climate change, as
professionals we must also seek ways that the digital sector can play its part. While digital technologies
are one of the sectors that has achieved greater efficiency; achieving about 100 times more computation
power from the same amount of energy per decade, it remains unsustainable. The sector must continue
Page 1
to seek ways in which it can continue to support and drive innovation, while addressing the global
climate emergency for a greener and fairer future.

This unit will enable students to explore the impact of digital endpoint devices and ways to reduce
environmental damages, OR the potential of refurbishing, repairing and reusing devices rather than
replacing
Tasks
As a member of Research and Development department, you have been assigned a mini-project to find
out the impact of remoting working including benefit, potential future development as well as
challenges to implement remoting working and how to tackle them.
You need to do primary research (both qualitative and quantitative research) and secondary research to
find out that impact and conduct a report for your research. Even it’s a mini-project, you must apply
project management (PM) techniques such as project charter with aims, objectives, cost etc. As for time
management, you need to produce WBS and Gantt chart with reasonable tasks and time. A project
logbook is required to provide evidence of the project development process and ongoing reflection for
every week. This logbook will be needed later for your reflection and evaluation in Assignment 2. As part
of QA (quality assurance) policy, in the report you also need to critically evaluate the PM process and
appropriate research methodologies applied.
Your report must have an introduction stating the project aims and objectives. This must be followed by
a copy of your project management plan. Your plan should show the milestones when you will review
with your tutor your ongoing progress so far. You will submit your logbook which shows how you have
carried out the project.
