1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF PROJECT CHARTER

The purpose of the project charter is to ensure that all contributors are in alignment with the
project’s goals and priorities. It will clearly outline the scope and objectives to develop the
fitsurance application, identify all stakeholders, estimate budget and assess possible risks.

2 PROJECT AND PRODUCT OVERVIEW

UnitedHealth Group plans to develop an application designed for its customers that incentivizes
certain health and fitness milestones with health-insurance discounts, provides them online
consultations, and gives them an option to book appointments. The application will also provide
UnitedHealth Group more data on its customers’ behaviours and tendencies. The total estimated
project budget is $ 111,856 and it is estimated that the total project will take 98 days.

3 JUSTIFICATION

3.1 BUSINESS NEED

“Over the next ten years, total healthcare spending in the United States is projected to grow from
$3.4 trillion today to $5.4 trillion by 2024, resulting in higher healthcare costs for individuals,
employers, states and the federal government.” (United Healthcare, 2019).

Due to this continual rise of healthcare costs in the United States, there will likely be a rise in
demand for health insurance coverages. As the healthcare costs increase, it will be more difficult for
the patients to cover these on their own. Further, the last few years have seen the largest number of
Americans engaging in any kind of physical activity and exercise (CDC, 2018). An increase in
exercise or physical activity leads to a healthier lifestyle, which has the potential to cut healthcare
costs and increase savings for many customers and encourage them to exercise.

Therefore, both the aforementioned points lead to a reasonable conclusion that a project as such will

UnitedHealth Fitsurance

only add value to UnitedHealth’s customers and the American healthcare system.

3.2 Strategic Alignment


The fundamental selling point for a project such as this is the ability for the end product to appeal to
both the consumer and the adopting corporate unit (UnitedHealth Group). The development of
specific and research-backed metrics for health improvement (e.g. steps taken per day) will serve as
monetary incentives for consumers looking to decrease health insurance costs. This also focuses
on increasing revenues for UnitedHealth Group through smaller insurance claims, due to a
generally more health-aware and health-incentivized client base, as well as improve the corporate
image of traditional insurance entities and their exorbitant monthly fees.

In short, a monthly-savings price model for healthier clients serves to increase profits for
UnitedHealth Group, propel them into a new era of customized insurance plans, and also develop its
strategic image as a provider of health coverage for the people it serves: a cohesive project aimed at
underlining UnitedHealth Group’s bold embrace of digitalization and fundamental business
transformation.

4 SCOPE

The scope of the product includes the development of a mobile application (App) to track the
physical activities of the tech-savvy users, which would not only keep them fit but also add health
benefit points for the customer’s insurance.

years of industrial experience. In case of any changes, it would be incorporated by discussion,


requirement scope, and market trend analysis. The development of the application would be
reviewed on a daily basis by Agile methodology (and SCRUM) and weekly reviews after every
development version release can be done to measure the alignment with the scope of business.

Acceptance Criteria: The minimum acceptance of the project would be if all deliverables are
done as per scope, milestones and reviewed by the Executive Managers. A small team meeting with
three team advisors can be done to ensure smooth handover during each stage of the project.

6 BUDGET ESTIMATE

6.1 FUNDING SOURCE

By carefully analyzing UnitedHealth Group's Financial Statement, the Retained Earnings,


equivalent to $ 57,616 million (source: Morningstar, Inc., n.d.), are considered as a valid source of
funding. In particular, the amount requested to run this project is equivalent to $ 111,796 and,
therefore is small in proportion to the aforementioned retained earnings, and hence it does not
significantly affect the company's financial situation.

6.2 ESTIMATE

The table below shows the high-level cost budget, organized by:
● Task Related Expenses: equal to $ 69,432, which represent 62.07% of the total project costs;
● General Expenses: equal to $ 24,384, which represent 21.80% of the total project costs;
● Risk Mitigation Expenses: equal to $ 18,040, representing 16.13% of the total project costs.

7 PROJECT PROCUREMENT

7.1 PROCUREMENT APPROACH

The project procurement approach states which contractors will be used, the timeline for the
development for these outsourced activities and which measures will be used to ensure a good
performance (Watt, 2014). The decision about which activities will be done in-house and which
will be outsourced are based on whether the activity is of strategic importance, whether
UnitedHealth Group has specific knowledge in this area or superior performance as compared to
competitors and whether a significant performance improvement is expected.

It was decided that most of the app design and development will be completed internally by the
UnitedHealth Group’s own technology/IT department. Two parts of the project will be outsourced,
the security testing and the feedback/survey stage. The organisation and timeline of these are
described in more detail below.

7.2 PROCUREMENT OF SECURITY TESTING

The security testing will be outsourced to the application security firm, ImpactQA, which is
considered one of the best in the field. This type of testing costs roughly $5,000 for a one-time
testing in the testing phase of this project, which will take place from 22nd June 2020 as per
estimation. On average, the security testing takes 1-3 weeks to complete. To reduce the risk of a
project delay and ensure the most thorough testing, the timeline allows for a 3-week security testing
period, as seen in the Gantt chart (ImpactQA, 2020).

7.3 PROCUREMENT OF CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

The customer feedback during the beta testing phase will be collected using surveys conducted by
Flatworld Solutions company which is one of the ISO certified global leaders. The necessity of
these surveys is described in more detail in the quality section of this project charter. The required
surveys will cost around $2,000 and can be conducted and analysed in only 1 week (William,
2020).

7.4 PROCUREMENT OF OTHER EXTERNAL RESOURCES

Besides these outsourced activities, the project will need some external resources, listed below:

8 ASSUMPTIONS, CONSTRAINTS AND RISKS

8.1 ASSUMPTIONS

This section identifies the statements believed to be true and from which a conclusion was drawn to
define this project charter.
1. UnitedHealth Group has a vested interest in securing a more profitable business model
derived from less claims from a generally healthier client base. This observation is derived
from UnitedHealth Group’s explicit fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value
as a US incorporated entity (Rappaport, 2014).

2. Consumers are generally interested in spending less on their insurance costs (especially
where they are highest in Western countries such as the US) and are most likely willing to
commit to minor lifestyle changes in order to achieve these cost savings. This is an
assumption rooted in logic; consumers are surely more inclined to receive the same
coverage they are currently for lower costs by exerting a small amount of effort to prove
effective health management (Naylor, 2017).

Page 14 of 25

UnitedHealth Fitsurance

8.2 CONSTRAINTS

This section identifies any limitation that must be taken into consideration prior to the initiation of
the project.
1. The cost model for insurance companies is highly dependent on several factors including
risk assessment (primarily from exposure to expected health claims) as well as projected
financial earnings for their shareholders. There is a limit to how much consumer savings we
can push into this product model as they are effectively revenue losses. There is a balancing
act where we must find the optimal consumer savings that will result in the largest net profit
increase (O’Connell, 2019)

2. Limitations on range and variety expected activities to be tracked are constrained both
physically and psychologically: consumers cannot be expected to track and comply with a
plethora of health management practices and tracking metrics and general technological
capabilities for tracking have a standard error for accuracy that also limits the efficiency of
our model and its optimization within this regard (Mcphate, 2016).

8.3 RISKS

The projects key risks are:

Risk Mitigation Action


Consumer Health Ensuring compliance with HIPAA with only internal data transmission and encryption on
Metrics Data cloud services (HHS, 2013).
Transmission
(Cybersecurity)
Legal Compliance In accordance with the FDA and UnitedHealth’s policies, recommendations and data
visualizations for both data users (consumers) will be explicitly categorized outside the
realm of ‘assistive medical devices or programs’ in order to avoid further stringent
regulation (Raja, 2020).
Responsibility & General user agreements prior to app usage will need to be developed with industry
Liability experts in order to eliminate any risk of culpability that might arise from clients taking on
health initiatives as recommended by the app. Verification of the consumer approval of
this agreement will use advanced authentication (AI Face Recognition) to ensure legal
validity of the binding agreement (Robillard et al., 2016).

UnitedHealth Fitsurance

Minimum Viable This risk is minimized with the structure of assimilation between product scope and
Participation company operations. UnitedHealth Group is already connected to a plethora of insurers
Thresholds and therefore in a prime position to push this completed product to our target segment.
Assuming a worst-case scenario, cost balance of additional marketing and advertisements
will need to be carried out with regards to forecasting ROI ($ earned per cent).

9 PROJECT QUALITY MANAGEMENT APPROACH

9.1 OVERALL QUALITY STANDARDS

The project’s overall quality management will be implemented using the Six Sigma tool which is
designed to minimise the defects that occur in a project. It is successful if the number of defects is
reduced to 3.4 for every 1 million opportunities (iSixSigma, 2020). The main aim of the Six Sigma
tool is to implement measurable objectives which can be improved over the course of the project.
To ensure the quality of this project, the key quality characteristics, which are expected by
customers, have been defined below. Each characteristic is accompanied by its respective
measurable metric, timeline and validation process (FuGenX, 2020).
The entire project process allows for continuous process improvement as preventing mistakes is
more cost effective than correcting them afterwards. This will be achieved by implementing the
DMAIC framework which aims to define, measure, analyze, improve and control every part of the
project continuously (American Society for Quality, 2020).

11 PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

To ensure this project is sustainable, the concept of the triple bottom line, which combines the
profit, people and planet aspects, was applied. We also aligned it with UnitedHealth’s strategy,
adapted the project to our customer’s needs as well as identified the key risks and set up
mitigation strategies for these, as seen above.

In addition to this, the project aligns with and contributes to several of the UN’s SDGs
(Sustainable Development Goals). By using an online platform to promote a healthy lifestyle
amongst its users, the application will decrease the need for any physical marketing as well as
paper usage. This will ultimately lead to a positive impact on the environment.
