Management

1. Part One:
1.1 MOV - Measurable Organisational Value
Identify the desired area of impact - Rank the following areas in terms of importance: Strategy /
Customer / Financial / Operational / Social (5 Marks)
Rank the area of impact (add in any more area you can think of)
Area of Impact Rank (1 to 5)
Strategy: Proper business strategies will
help the online stud farm to gain
competitive advantages and commercial
profit.
3
Customer: Customers are referred to as
one of the most valuable asset for any
business. Similarly, before developing
the management system stud farm the
Globex should focus on building a
customer focused system. With the
successful implementation of the
system, the breeder’s details, stud
details and secured level payment can
also be processed accordingly.
1
Financial: Capital investment is another
important thing on which the developers
should concentrate as well. The project
sponsors are responsible to deliver
required amount of capital so that the
system can be implemented securely.
2
Operational: Besides proper investment
over capital for the development of the
online stud farm management system
another thing on which the developers
should concentrate is proper
maintenance of operation. This is the
responsibility of the project manager
and the operation manager to make sure
that all the system operations are
running accurately.
4
Social: The breeding farm should have
proper social support during operation
period. It is expected that, with social
support the administrative errors will be
significantly reduced.
5

• SUMMARISE THE MOV IN A CLEAR CONCISE STATEMENT OR TABLE
(Note: the MOV should inform everyone what the project will achieve, not how it will be achieved. It
should also focus on the organisation, not on the technology that will be used to build or support the
information system).
 Choose the area of impact you have ranked as no 1.
 For that area of impact
 With reference to your project, identify one or two of the following types of value:
 Better
 Faster
 Cheaper
 Do more
For the online stud farm management project the chosen area that have been ranked as number
1 is the consumer. With reference to the project the values those are specified include: faster
and cheaper
Faster: The purpose of the project is to make sure that all true percentage of through breeding is
maintained and breeding services are offered. There are many online stud farm system those are
used for service booking and breeding management. The system is required to be faster so that
it can grab more consumers accordingly.
Cheaper: The growth of any system depends upon its service timing, affordability and quality.
For this particular management system the affordability is again very important. Thus, the price
of booking should be cheaper so that it can grab more number of consumers accordingly.
 Develop an appropriate metric - this sets the target and expectation of all the stakeholders.
It is important to determine a quantitative target that needs to be expressed as a metric in
terms of an increase or decrease of money.
Stakeholder Expectation
Project manager To track and monitor the project to meet its
objectives
Finance manager To complete the project within the estimated
budget.
Operation manager To maintain all the necessary system operation
in terms of booking breeders details, stud details
and payment gateway.
System developer To provide a secured system with secured
payment to the consumers.
 Determine the timeframe for achieving the MOV - ask yourselves, when do we want to
achieve this target metric?

Based on the details of the system requirements and their backgrounds it can be said that for the
successful accomplishment of this particular project the project manager and the project team
members will be required 6 months time.
 • Part Two: (10 Marks)
Scope (minimal 10 items) – 10 Marks
 Requirements are gathered and documented accurately
 Design and Develop the online stud farm management system
 Test and Implement the designed and developed online system
 Reports are implemented
 Support the system through warranty period of 6 months
 The service should be affordable
 The system offers the consumers an online payment gateway opportunity
 The consumers should operate the system from any location and any time
 The system should possess public liability insurance
 System has a feedback ort invoice option
Out of Scope
 There is not particular marketing strategies developed for the online Stud farm
management system
 No future development plans are developed for this project
Assumptions
After analysing the details of the online stud farm management system developed by Globex it has
been found that, the project objectives can be reached by the project team members within 6
months and the total budget estimated for the successful implementation of the project is $40,000.
It is assumed that with the successful implementation of the project the consumers will be able to
book online with a faster and cheaper cost amount. Again they will also be able to get a secured
system where the details will be stored absolutely securely.
Constraints
For this project triple project constraints are cost, time and scope. The online stud farm
management system is estimated to be completed within 6 months with a cost of $40,000. It is
defined that the system will reduce the issues of traditional manual and spreadsheet maintained
record keeping system.
Scope Management Plan
In order to gain effective success from the online stud farm management system it is necessary for
the system developers to consider a scope plan and that must be followed by the project team
members and the project manager as well. Experienced system developers, Operation manager and
finance manager should be hired for implementing system. Before its implementation a prototype

should be designed and tested accordingly to make sure that whether the system is reaching its
desire outcome or service to the consumers.

Closure and Evaluation Researching for the closure checklist and project evaluation
a. To prepare for this task, you will be required to provide an annotated bibliography. – 3 marks
Eskerod, P., Huemann, M., & Savage, G. (2015). Project stakeholder management—past and
present. Project Management Journal, 46(6), 6-14.
This article reflects the difference between the past concept of project stakeholder management and
present concept of project stakeholder management. It has been found that, the process of
stakeholder management differs a lot with the changing time period. This article defined the root of the
theoretical concept of stakeholder management and their role in a business organization. It is
expected that if the stakeholders manages their role in the projects then the objectives can be easily
reached within he estimated time phase and budget.

experiences: An integrated model in an online service context. Information &
Management, 52(6), 668-678.
This particular article is focused on application of flow theory for booking experience. This is an
integrated model that helps to design online service context. The interaction between the users and
the websites are very important thing to be considered to create commercial opportunities and long
term sustainability. The purpose of this study is to define and examine the relationship between the
concept of experience of the online consumer and flow. It has been found that in order to reach the
preliminarily designed objectives, this theoretical model is needed to be designed. Positive
experience and feedback from the consumers increases the brand quality and add-on values to its
service.
Bilgihan, A., & Bujisic, M. (2015). The effect of website features in online relationship
marketing: A case of online hotel booking. Electronic Commerce Research and
Applications, 14(4), 222-232.
The essence of the above journal implies the effect of website and online booking relationship
marketing. The hedonic features for the website have stronger significant effect on the effective
commitment. However, for promoting the online booking systems proper promotional activities with
the help of the social media marketing are also necessary to be done. Though the design or the
usability features of the online booking system is the most important thing to be considered to grab
more consumers and also for retaining the existing consumers. E-loyalty from the consumers and the
service providers are important ky factors that leads an online booking system towards success.
b. Develop a closure checklist that the project team will use to ensure that the project has been
closed properly. – 3 marks Refer also to chapter 12

 The testing of the online stud farm management system is completed
 All the documents associated to the project are properly reviewed and approved
 The requirements traceability matrix is checked
 Most of the identified risks are resolves and some risk management plans are evolved to
mitigate some of the risks are
 The project handover is on progress
 The training and development program arranged for the project team members are completed
c. Develop a project evaluation –outline and discuss how your project’s MOV will be evaluated. – 3
Marks chapter 12
The Measurable organizational value (MOV) of Online Stud Farm management system will be
evaluated by the project manager. The project manager is responsible to monitor and control the
progress of the project in a professional level. After studying the entire project document the PM
will give review on the document and lastly a proper checklist will be created which is needed for
stakeholder signoff.
