Part One – 15 Marks
1 MOV - Measurable Organisational Value (5 Marks)
Step 1: Identify the desired area of impact
Area of Impact Rank (1 to 5)
Customer 1
Social 2
Operational 3
Financial 4
Strategy 5
Step 2: Identify Desired Value – Better / Faster / Cheaper / More
The desired values in this project are faster and more.
The main priority of this project is to ensure faster and more efficient operations regarding
the purchase and sale of the crops by the growers and buyers. The app and the website will
assist the users to perform their actions like putting up sale, placing bids and other activities
much faster and easier.
The company also targets to do more using this project. While the online stud farm
management system has gained sufficient popularity among the clients, the company
further wants to develop a website and a dedicated application for smartphones used by
the clients. Thus the target of the company is to expand the functionalities of the existing
system with added values for the convenience of the customers.
Step 3: Identify the Metrics
The main metrics of the project are time and budget. It has been agreed that a time
schedule and budget are fixed, they will not changed at any condition.
Hence, the overall time determined for the project is 142 days and an approximate budget
has been determined for $1,058,360.

Step 4: Identify the Timeframe
The overall timeframe for achieving the MOV in the project is set at 2 months after the
completion of the project. These two months are allowed so that the organization can get
sufficient time to release the system for end-users and gather feedback from them
regarding usability and issues of the system.
Step 5: Agree with the Sponsor
The sponsor recommends developing a suitable roll out strategy so that the organization
does not have to face any problems while going live. Moreover, the sponsor also requires
finalizing a budget during planning so that it can be fixed without any major changes in the
future.
Step 6: Summarise in a Clear Concise Statement
This project is basically aimed to enhance the convenience of the customers (farm
managers) for purchasing and selling crops in an online marketplace. While the Globex can
gain significant business benefits from the project, the project is basically customer centric.
The developed website and the mobile application will allow both the growers and the
sellers to buy and sell crops as per their own conveniences.
