- Most of the interviewed companies apply teleworking, except for a few companies with specific
jobs that require direct work, such as real estate that need to directly project and meet
customers. or the health care industry needs to work directly. That is a favorable condition for
our application to work well in the market
- When it comes to the advantages of working remotely, most of the interviewees said that
working remotely helps to flexibly work time, increase work productivity and make better
worklife balance. So our application must focus on these strengths. Our application must help
users be more productive. There must be features that help improve work productivity as well as
help users set standards, arrange, and divide work appropriately. Not a single user thinks that the
strength of remote working increases motivation. So, if our application can create a dynamic
feature for users, such as letting employees see each other's work progress to motivate work, or
regularly sending motivational sayings for users That will be one of the advantages of our
application
- Regarding the disadvantages of working remotely, most of the interviewees agreed that working
remotely will lead to lack of relationship among co-workers. Some interviewees said that working
remotely increases distractions or reduces employees visibility. To overcome the above
problems, our application must become more and more perfect and allow direct messaging or
group meetings right on the application to help employees easily interact with each other,
helping to increase the relationship between employees as well as increase employees visibility.
In addition, the application also needs to have a reminder feature. The application will
continuously remind work deadlines via gmail or notify right on the user's phone or computer
screen to avoid distraction and distraction of employees.
- When asked if he wanted to work remotely. Most interviewees would prefer to work remotely or
a combination of the two. Except for some face-to-face occupations such as real estate or
healthcare, most people prefer to work remotely or combine the two. The combination of
teleworking and face-to-face work will overcome all the weaknesses of remote working.
Employees can work remotely, but they need 1 to 2 days a week to come to the company.
- From the results of the above survey. We can see that most companies adopt remote working, so
if our application can meet that need and solve the necessary problems, our application will be
widely used
- In this survey I used google form, one of the most easy to use and widely used survey apps
around the world. I emailed senior employees of large corporations and invited them to take a
survey. Because this survey is sent directly to the gmail of senior employees of large corporations,
the results of this survey are relatively accurate.
2. Recommendations
2.1. Summary about my system
- With more and more companies allowing employees to work remotely, it is extremely urgent to
have an application to manage work effectively. Recognizing that need we wanted to create an
application to manage projects and tasks.
- The application will allow the whole team to set common goals, divide the work reasonably, each
individual can set their own goals and update work progress. Users can also report work to their
superiors through the application, or leave notes for their colleagues.
- With this application, work productivity will be increased many times. Thanks to the function of
setting goals and updating progress. Team members can work together and the person doing the
next job can know when they can do their job without texting or calling to ask.
- In short, with this application a company or a team will function effectively without having to meet
face-to-face. Employees also do not need to report progress directly to the manager, but through
the application, the manager can understand the work situation.

Risks/Issues identified:
If we don't choose the hosting pakage wisely, it can leads to a waste of money
Problem Encountered:
There is an argument in the process of choosing technology for application development. But it was
solved by creating 2 tables showing the strengths and weaknesses of each technology, then evaluating
and choosing appropriately.
Risks/Issues identified:
If the designer does not design on schedule, the plan will be delayed
Problem Encountered:
During the design process, there are some designs that are not suitable when designing for phones,
which can cause the design process to take longer than expected. But we decided to shelve that
feature and complete it while the developers were working on another feature.
New idea:
We have developed the interface and the backend of the application(on time)
Risks/Issues identified:
There may be problems developing the mobile app interface and need more staff for the interface
Problem Encountered:
The development of the phone interface has problems because some phone screens are not wide
enough to display all the functions, so it has to change the design for some phones with small screens
making development time. added interface. Therefore, we have to assign more staff to support the
development of the application interface
Risks/Issues identified:
Maybe after the test, there will be some errors that appear and have to be fixed, causing the project
to be behind schedule
Problem Encountered:
After testing the application, there are some errors that cause the project to be delayed. We decided
to postpone the project deployment time so that the application can be as perfect as possible
