Project Charter for MBFSA Mobile Farmer Support Application Dev

This document presents a comprehensive project charter for the MBFSA (Mobile Based Farmer Support Application) project, which aims to develop a mobile application to assist farmers in crop planning and management. The charter includes a measurable organizational value (MOV) definition, detailing the desired areas of impact (operational, strategic, customer, social, and financial) and stakeholder expectations. It outlines the project scope, resources, work breakdown structure (WBS), deliverables, milestones, and resource assignments. A detailed project budget is provided, along with a risk analysis and mitigation plan. The document also covers the project management plan, including team objectives, verification and validation activities, and project closure and evaluation processes. The provided annotated bibliography supports the research and methodologies used in the project.

ICT PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Overview of MBFSA and its Description
The MBFSA project aims in development of the mobile-based application that is
expected ensure effective management of the MBFSA program. The MBFSA program involves
development of a system that will let the farmers plan their crops by depicting the data about the
maximum yield in a particular time of year. The application will need the farmers to register
themselves on the application to add, update and delete the data.
Part 1: Measurable Organisational Value (MOV)
1.1. Area of Impact (Desired)
Operational: The undertaken MBFSA project is expected to be developed in such a way
that a high degree of operational efficiency will be achieved.
Strategy: The propose MBFSA application is expected to manage the problem of over-
growing a crop faced by the farmers in an effective manner.
Customer: The application that is to be developed is expected to have a positive impact
on the farmers, for whom the crop is designed.
Social: The application is expected to assists the farmers in management of the crop,
which is one social benefit.
Financial: The MBFSA project is anticipated to improve the cost efficiency of crops
grown.
