Project Scope:
A digital platform (mobile application) that offers safe and effective exercises to improve overall health without compromising the safety of paraplegic wheelchair users.
Project out-of-scope:
Disabilities communities (e.g. Psychological, Neurological disability) that are not our current target communities.
Nutritional guidance.
Encourage other companies to offer more inclusive products/universal design.
Project Success Indicators:

Receiving positive feedback from focus groups.
The app is spread by word of mouth within the disabled community.
Platform encourages limited mobility communities to exercise.
Project Constraints/Obstacles/Challenges:
Finding enough participants to respond to the surveys and focus groups.
Finding paraplegic individuals to be ambassadors and to record and demonstrate the exercises for the app.
Technical fitness knowledge - We are not fitness trainers, physiotherapists, etc.
Engineering Capabilities - We only have one programmer on the team.
We have time limitations in addition with many members balancing other courses, jobs, and family lives. We have a set date that the app needs to be functional by and this time constraint could pose as an issue.
Project Assumptions:
