Functional Specifications
• Problem: The number of devices being deployed by corporate entities is growing, increasing the workload for IT specialists.▪ Specialists need the ability to manage corporate devices
while they are in the field.
▪ Microsoft Intune solves this problem, but requires a desktop or laptop computer to use.
• Solution: Create a mobile application that allows IT specialists to easily monitor, manage and maintain corporate devices with Microsoft Intune directly from a mobile device.

Risks
• Missing Graph API Functionality▪ Description: The Graph API is missing functionality for some features.▪ Mitigation: Migrate the existing implementation to the new version of Graph API
• Cross-Platform Design▪ Description: Three different platforms means three different design principles▪ Mitigation: Develop shared UI components while designing navigation
individually for each platform.
• Server-Client Performance Issues▪ Description: Server-client communication can cause major performance issues▪ Mitigation: Implement client-side caching to reduce the amount of data being
sent over the network.
• Efficient Group Deployment▪ Description: The client is not satisfied with the current group deployment
algorithm▪ Mitigation: Analyze the current implementation and look for ways in which it can
be simplified.
