Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal of this project is to gather and analyze data from major cities in Canada to determine which are the prime targets for expansion for LocalStudent Inc. This will involve several different steps, including gathering data on overall population, number of university age students, the level of competition for our services, if the cities cultures are conducive to any of our services, analyzing the data to determine which services we should launch in each city, or if we should not launch in them.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:


- Understanding of the data gathered from cities in Canada.


- Ability to analyze the data and determine which services should be launched in each city.


- Identification of areas for future improvement of the services.



Final deliverables should include:


- A written report explaining the data gathered, analysis conducted, and outcomes.


How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will work closely with the manager who is supervising and available for questions. They will provided with the data LocalStudent has collected so far, and instructed on best practices for gathering more data. This will also include weekly progress meetings where they will update the manager in charge of the areas of research they are targeting, and get constructive criticism and positive feedback on what they have done so far. Regular communication will be conducted via WhatsApp.
