1. Part One: (15 Marks)
1.1 MOV - Measurable Organisational Value (5 Marks)
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: For the success of any
business, strategy is the most important
thing that has to be considered for the
successful implementation of the
project. If proper strategies are applied
then the Online Stud Farm will be able to
gain effective measurable revenue
1
Customer: Consumers are very import
asset for any business success because
based on their feedback the technical
advances are incorporated in the online
Stud Farm management system.
5
Financial: For any business innovation
financial support is very much important
concept that has to be incorporated. The
project sponsors are responsible to
invest the necessary capital to develop
online booking system for Stud Farm
besides the traditional booking
approach.
2
Operational: All the operations of the
online booking system are needed to be
done properly. It has been found that,
with successful operation the stud farm
will be able to deliver a secured online
booking system to the consumers.
3
Social: Social support is another
important factor that has to be
considered as it deals with emotion of
the consumers. Social support is a
combination of emotional, informational
and instrumental support. In order to
promote the online booking system the
Stud Farm should utilize social media
networking.

• 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 - is improving quality important to your client?
Faster - does your client want to increase efficiency?
Cheaper - is cutting costs important?
Do more - does your client want to continue its growth?
For the online Stud Farm project strategy is in rank 1, for their area of impact and with
the project reference it is found that two different types of values such as better and
faster are considered for this. At the project initiation phase, the business analyst
considers certain marketing and managerial strategies. The chosen values for the
business strategies are as follows:
Better: The strategies considered for this online booking system is needed to be better
than the existing one. With a better strategy the online Stud Farm will be able to grab
more consumers from wide geographical location and retain their existing customers.
Faster: The online booking system is expected to be faster than the traditional
spreadsheet booking system. With a faster approach they can book for more numbers of
consumers with a little time period.
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.
Stakeholders Target and expectation
Project manager Target and expectations of the project manager
are not that much different from each other.
Collectively it can be said that, the target should
reach the project expectation. The project
manager is expecting to deliver an online
booking system to the consumers.
Government The expectation of the government is to retain
the consumers and to prevent them to travel
outside country for the animal breeding. The
business outcome is indirectly related to the
governmental tax.
Suppliers In order to develop the online booking system
for the Stud Farm they should deal with three
Document Page
suppliers- network supplier, hardware and
software suppliers.
Determine the timeframe for achieving the MOV - ask yourselves, when do we want to
achieve this target metric?
Based on the project background and project details it has been found that the company will
need not more than 10 months to successfully accomplish the online booking system. After
considering the complexity of the project it is divided into small activities. Individual
timeframe is again designed for each of the activity. The planned budget and the actual
budget for the project may vary but still overall it is expected that the project will be
accomplished in $95,700.
Part Two: (10 Marks)
Scope (minimal 10 items) – 10 Marks
Requirements are gathered and documented
Design and Development of the online booking system for Stud Farm
Test and Implementation of the design and outlined prototype
Reports are implemented after analysing the project details and project requirements
Support the system through warranty period of 24 months or around 2 years
The service will be open for the consumers for 24X7 hours
In case of online booking no third party or mediator are present thus it is absolutely
commission free
It gives secured and good customer service
The workload from the project team members will be reduced completely
All the customers will be able to deliver a secured online payment option to the consumers.
Out of Scope
No post project maintenance plan is developed for the online Stud Farm management system
The role of the business analyst and how the project will be promoted is out of scope
Assumptions
Project assumption is a set of belief that is assumed to be true for the coming future outcome of
the system. Based on the knowledge, experience and available information the project
assumptions are designed by the project team members and project manager. It is assumed that
the project will get all necessary resources (physical and human) for the successful
implementation of the project. The stakeholders will attend all the meetings are motivate the
team members so that they can reach the project objectives very easily.
Constraints
In order to develop the online stud farm management system triple project constraints has been
chosen. It is ideate that for successful implementation of the online booking system the total budget
