Project Name: Mobile Based Farmer Support Application (MBFSA)
Overview
An application will be developed as a part of the project, which will enable the farmers to
plan their crops. Globex Precision Farming solution is known to assists farmers in effective crop
growing. With the project completion, the farmers and the wholesalers will be capable to predict
the crops that will yield maximum profits.
Description
The project will be implemented by Virtcuon who is a client of Globex. The project will
be delivered by Virtucon as the Virtucon team is generally familiar with the different fact finding
techniques. The project will be delivered within 6 months and the prototype for the project will
be delivered within 2 months.
Part One: MOV- Measurable Organisational Value
1.1. Definition of MOV
The measurable organization value or MOV is defined as the project goal, which is used
to define the project’s value, that is being promised to the clients.
1.2. Area of Impact
Area of Impact Rank Effect
Strategy 3 Lack of strategic implementation of the project can
significantly delay the project
Customer 1 The customers will largely be benefited by the

implementation of this project.
Financial 2 The correct implementation of the project will prove
to be one of major financial benefits of the project
Operational 4 The identified project is expected to improve the
operation
Social 5 The project will have social benefits as well.
1.3. Types of Values
With reference to the MBFSA project, two most critical values are needed to be
identified. The two values that is linked with MBFSA project are Better, Cheaper. The system
that will be implemented for the project is expected to improve the crop growth. Furthermore,
the system will be implemented in as much less cost, as possible
1.4. Stakeholders’ Expectations and Metric
Stakeholder Expectations Target (time frame of
fulfilling the expectations)
Globex Will provide detailed project
requirement
1 week
Virtucon Will provide the detailed
project plan
2 weeks
Farmers Will approve the prototype 1 week after prototype release
Government Will provide necessary project Till the completion of the

details project
Wholesalers Will approve the prototype Within 1 week of prototype
release
The metric that is set for this project is related to the implementation time or the time in
which these metrics will be achieved.
1.5. Set Timeframe for MOV
The Timeline in which the MOV will be achieved is indicated in the following figure-
