Introduction
The following assignment is a project charter document developed for integrating the analysis of
the mobile application and website development for I-Crop project. The purpose of the charter is
to form an initial requirement document for the stakeholders so that they can understand the
project more easily.
Purpose
The purpose of the report is to develop a project charter that can be used as an initial document
containing all required documents for getting an overview of the mobile application and website
development for I-Crop project.
The objectives of the report are,
 To develop an initial document comprising of information about the project schedule and
budgetary information
 To enhance the management of the successful development by passing on the information
to its stakeholders
Project Description
Project Details
The website and mobile application would be effectively helpful in managing the project
objectives. The orders and services would be increased and managed easily with the help of the
improved communication plan development.

Project Background
The Globex has decided to implement a new mobile application and website development and
named it ‘I-Crop Project’. It would help them in managing the customers and getting active
feedbacks from their customer.
Part one: MOV – Measurable Organizational Value
Social: The social media platform would be responsible for the development of the successful
management of the activities and aligning the formation of the increased management
operations. The utilization of the improved functional development would be helpful for aligning
the completion of the activities.
Operational: The operational development would be implied for easing the management of the
successful development of activities. It is largely responsible for the continuation of the activities
and forming management of the functional development.
Customer: The customer focus on the website development for I-Crop project would be
effectively aligned with the independent management of the activities. The customer
involvement would be effectively deployed for listing the evaluation of the functions for taking
care of actions.
Financial: The financial operations of the I-Crop project would be held responsible for the
completion of the activities and aligning development model.

Part Four: Risk Management Plan
Assumption made:
 Project would be completed in the estimated budget
 Uses of the resources have been done considering the alignment of functions.
 Resources required for the completion of the project would be done cohesively
Risk Identification
Delay in completion: It is resulted due to the major or minor problems in execution of the
operations of project resulting in untimely completion of the project
Shortage of resources: It is resulted due to the lack of adequate resources in the project or due
to misuses of the resources by the project team
Design flaws: It is resulted due to the flaws in the design of the website and mobile application
that needed to be corrected by the designer
Functional errors: It is the issues in the website and mobile application due to the functions not
working properly or programming errors

Summary: According to Badewi (2016), the impact of project management and benefit
management practices have been largely deployed for adjusting the analysis of the operations
and defining of the successful management operations. The project management has been
holding considerable role for the evaluation of the existing operations and aligning the imitation
of the effective operations. The evaluation of the methodologies of development and execution
had been largely employed for forming the management of the successive development. The
combination of the practices of development had been implied for listing the management of the
operations and definite increment of the successful project execution. The framework for the
smart alignment model would be helpful for listing the evolution of the project management and
alignment of the smart project execution. The analysis of the functions for benefit management
and project management practices for the completion of the project structural framework.

Summary: According to Kermanshachi, Dao, Shane & Anderson (2016), the analysis of the
complex project management is a major factor for defining the influence for the development
modelling. The study was conducted for understanding the significance of the factors of project
management and the utilization and development using the innovative and effective project
management. The alignment of the probable management process for the listing of the

contemporary management has been helpful for co-ordinating the development of the innovation
and smart project development. The management of the complex projects would be aligned for
implying the renovation development and implication of the innovative technology. The
integration for the successive management would be implied for innovation the prospect of smart
project development. The alignment of the successive introduction management would be
implied for operations. The usefulness of the project integration development would be listed for

Summary: As stated by Martens and Carvalho (2017), the key factors for the successful
sustainability of the project management operations. The context of project management has
been largely implied for listing the utilization of the smart innovation formation. The
sustainability of the project activities had been largely responsible for innovation of the activities
and integrating the alignment and development. The deployment would be aligned for successful
integration and utilization of the factors for easing the management process. The integration and
implication of the effective project management development would be helpful for innovating
the consideration and development. The exploration of the activities for implying the
management of the operations for the operational development of the operations has been
implied for implying the successful development model. The identification of the key factors for

using the successful integration and management activities was implied for innovation
development.
Closure checklist
The project closure checklist is managed for the involvement of the improved
management and development. The closure checklist would be accordingly developed
considering the innovation and implication management. The following is the closure checklist
for the project,
Checklist Item Checked?
Is the project plan sustainable for the developing mobile application and website? 
Have all the initiation documents made successfully for alignment of activities? 
Are the outputs of design simulation positive for users? 
Is Program Development for the project aligned with the completion plan? 
Are the final project report been made cohesively? 
Project Evaluation
The evaluation of the project is aligned with the consideration and evaluation of the
factors for integrating the successful innovation and development. The evaluation of the project
integration and management can be implied for integrating the utilization and management
process. The evaluation of the activities had been integrating the management process. The
evaluation of the activities has been largely responsible for aligning management of the
activities. The evaluation factors are,
 Project plan sustainable for the developing mobile application and website
