Part One:
1.1 MOV - Measurable Organisational Value
The possible areas of impact for this project are strategy, customer, financial,
operational furthermore social.
Rank the area of impact:
Area of Impact Rank (1 to 5)
Strategy:
Globex helps the farmers to increase productivity and reduce time and cost.
The business strategy of Training and Apprenticeship program for High
School students (TAHS) program is to provide collaboration among the
entities.
1
Customer:
Globex starts TAHS program so that it can help students getting work
experiences and increase employment opportunities in farming solutions
specialists. The system is implemented and developed for customer’s
efficiency.
2
Financial:
By leveraging of technology, the business organization can operate
properly, and the farmers can save cost and improve crop performance
along with productivity to take proper business decisions. The
organizational cost is reduced.
2
Operational:
Globex farming solutions raise efficiency of farming such that the farmers
can improve planning, decision making as well as entire strategy for the
business operations.
4
Social:
Globex completed training in new technologies which can help the farmers
in their future plan. The project team members can interact with each other.

The area of impact which is ranked as 1 is strategy.
1.2 With reference to the project, the two types of values
Better – The proposed system is implemented to manage TAHS program which will
be collaborative work among three entities such as schools, farming equipment
manufacturers, and Globex’ own representatives.
Faster – The computer based system will collect information by means of farming
equipments manufacturers and requirements of staffs. It can also reduce the project cost and
faster the efficiency of business operations.
1.3 Develop an appropriate metric
Stakeholder list Stakeholder expectations
Project Manager The project manager can track the status of the project and can
determine the project cost and schedule.
Financial Executive The financial executive can calculate the total fund required
for the project and measure the cost.
Trainer The trainer of Globex provides training to the students on
skills required to work that they can serve farming solutions
and products.
Operational Manager The operation manager can provide detailed reporting system
which consists of information regarding student details,
apprentice tracking and skills requirements.
1.4 Determine the timeframe for achieving the MOV

Part Two:
2.1 Define Scope and scope management plan
The project plan deals with implementation plus development of computer based system
to manage TAHS program. The project would allow for easier management of student’s
information and reduce technical errors and business cost. This project work is undertaken to
complete in allocated project budget and time. Following are scope of this project plan such
as:
 Outline the design of computer based system for Training and Apprenticeship
program for High School students
 Develop an user interface for the proposed system
 Development of system database and review the proposed system
 Completion of project in estimate budget and scheduled time
 Develop of project reports based on project requirements
 Functionalities of proposed system
 Testing and implementation
 Gathering the project data and requirements
 The system is implemented using computing technology
 Communicational tools are required to follow throughout project development
2.2 Define scope of the project and how scope will be managed
The in-scopes of the project plan are:
 The project is to be completed in scheduled time and estimated budget
 The project clients are being satisfied with proposed system and its performance
 Communicational tools are required to follow throughout project development
 The computer based system records students details, skills and personal information

6PROJECT MANAGEMENT
 The system is implemented using computing technology
The out scopes of the project plan are:
 The project is required hiring of new workers and project team embers for the
implementation of technical elements of proposed computer based system
 There is required to develop specifications of company through implementation of
computer software for TAHS
 Training of the workers of Globex for proposed system was not include in the project
requirements
The project scope is managed through the project lifecycle where the main input is the
project charter which can provide roles and responsibilities of project team members and
defined project objectives. Scope is controlled by managing the project changes. The
project manager can determine and evaluate effects of proposed project changes so that
there is no possibility of scope creep while implementation and development of computer
based system.

Part Five:
5.1 A short statement that reflects to deliver a quality system to the client
Following are the points which can reflect to deliver a quality computer based system
for TAHS such as:
 There is proper implementation and testing of proposed system so that the system
users can use the system for their benefits.

21PROJECT MANAGEMENT
 It is concluded that there is weekly meetings which are conducted so that all the
project team members should communicate with each other regarding difficulties they
are facing at the time of development and implementation of proposed system.
 After development stage, the system is to be tested properly so that the system can
provide required services to the company.
