For project planning and execution data collection is a critical component,
and there are various methods that may be used to acquire information and
provide necessary insights:
Interviews are means that can be applied when it comes to gathering both important and
relevant information, with both pre-set questions and even a more conversational approach
that allows looser, more free-form answers. This is direct communication with the individual
or a group for their views or opinions. Interviews are a type of qualitative collection of
information. For the interviewer to perform their job competently, it may require them to
undertake interview training; that is to be trained on how to have a good and effective
interview. This involves the management of the conversation and information flow without
imposing any bias.
Meetings are collaborative gatherings involving stakeholders serving as a forum for
discussion, brainstorming and decision-making.
Aditionally, to conduct and carry the work of an effective meeting, there are specified
guidelines as well as certain pre-requisites that are to be followed. For example, an already
established agenda, necessary stakeholders present, proactive manner of proceeding, and
documented discussions and future tasks assigned.
Data analysis: this entails the process of analysing information from several sets of data to
make conclusions. It usually involves taking out information from data sets to realize the
outcome or effect of such data. The task is usually done using several techniques and
typically calls for a specific expertise in the data management and the interpretation of data.
Information gathering techniques must be carefully appraised for suitability, together with
its advantages and disadvantages, regarding stakeholders. While interview works well in
providing in-depth information, it is costly and requires time not to mention that it may not
represent the wider community. The advantages gained from the usage of surveys and
questionnaires is it allows BLB tech to reach out to the masses and generate quantified data.
However, these insights may not be in depth and could be of a low interaction. The market
research to be analysed will provide information on the trends in the market and consumer
behaviour; however, it will not tailor the specific view to meet the specified project and can
be expensive to analyze. Examination of existing systems gives immediate insights of similar
operations but will not provide the insights of the customers view and perspective.
Fortunatelty for BLB Tech all of these techniques will be used in conjunction to approach in
such a way that is perfect blend, adhering to amidst all these considerations. Combining
qualitative and quantitative information for drone delivery of BLB TECH.
1) Identifying Stakeholder Insights:
,- Conduct questionnaires with the internal team at BLB TECH to understand
their capabilities and expectations.
Question that I will ask the client (BLB tech):
What is the desired quantity of Drones?
What material should the drones be constructed from? (a minimum of 2)
What is the recommended duration for the battery life of drones?
What is the recommended weight for the packaging of the drones?
What should the maximum weight capacity of the drones be?
Do you have any thoughts or other questions to contribute?
- Engage with potential customers using surveys, especially those in remote
areas, to assess their needs and willingness to adopt new delivery methods.
Which stakeholder category do you belong to?

Arrange a meeting with regulatory advisors to gain a comprehensive
understanding of the legal framework governing drone activities.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is the official body in the United Kingdom responsible for
overseeing and regulating all aspects of civil aviation.
Meeting agenda:
- Pilot project in a designated rural zone, delivering parcels < 2kg to houses within a 5km
radius.
- Discuss plan and understand all legislation
2) Market Research Data:
Examine industry reports regarding drone delivery services for insights into
market trends, opportunities, and challenges.
https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/delivery-drones-market
This report informs us of the emerging trends in the worldwide market and the
opportunities within. It gives insights on the invention of drones for use in the delivery
industry to solve a problem, predominantly in the logistical side. This is largely motivated by
the desire for faster and more effectively automated logistical operations. The numerous
opportunities that it presents have been challenging for many, although they are great for
optimizing the whole process of delivery and cutting down on costs. With airspace
restrictions and safety concerns, in turn, these prove to be major barriers for the general
acceptance and use of this technology. On the other hand, two main other barriers to
implement include the scalability and reliability of a drone delivery system, especially in
cities full of complex infrastructure and dense populations. However, the encouraging
aspects are the technological improvement, especially in drone capabilities, complimenting
navigation systems to be such an influential technology and the improvement of battery life.
Positive prospects that see drone delivery could try to scale up this business especially post
Covid-19, with growing delivery needs that are done with minimal physical touch in case of
repeat events. Moreover, the report also touches on the regulation challenges and
requirements needed this can be seen as a rock in a shoe for a start-up company as
adhering to these legislative requirements can be difficult.
- Review case studies of existing drone delivery implementations to gather
performance data and best practices.
