Project Objectives: Sex education is a heated issue in many countries. However, teaching sex education in school for students is not effective because the content of sex education lessons is boring and teenagers are not confident to ask teachers about contraception. Minors are very curious and they always want to explore all the problems. On the other hand, due to some of traditional thinking that teacher could not provide enough necessary knowledge and answer all questions they asked. They cannot recognize in a holistic way and protect themselves against dangers stemming from a simple issue, sex. It leads to negative results in society such as sexual transmitted diseases, unplanned pregnancy. This is an opportunity to provide a new method to learn sex lessons by using visual aid and games on portable devices. It will help students learn more effectively and keep it as their secret. The website will include project management documents used on real projects, important articles related to recent project management topics, an article retrieval service, links to other sites with useful information, and an "Ask the Expert" feature, where users can find questions that they need or they can speak directly with professionals by using the phone and of course as we will give you the address to contact them.
Main Project Success Criteria: Our goal is to complete this project within 1 month for no more than $20.800. The project sponsor, Ethan John, has emphasized the importance of the project paying for itself within 3 months after the project is complete. To reach this financial goal, the project will have strongly user inputs. We will have developed the benefit functions and methods permit the company get back the costs in a short time or complete projects sooner than planned and this project is considered successful if the company's image is improving thanks to the mailing of sales projects.
