2PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Overview and Description
This project is mainly based on the development of a computer based system that is
requested by Globex for assistance in the TAHS program. In this project, Virtucon will need to
develop the proposed system that will have the following main features:
Student Details – The system will have entry and record feature for the student details
who are enrolled in the TAHS program conducted by Globex.
Apprentice Tracking – The system will have a feature for tracking the apprentices who
are enrolled within the TAHS program.
Skills Requirements – The system will also record the skills requirements for the
placement in the industry.
Part One: MOV
1.1 Measurable Organisational Value
The goal of the project is to develop a computer based system that can be utilized for
managing the TAHS (Training and Apprenticeship Program for High School Students) program
proposed by Globex. The success of the project will be measured by the increase in the number
of effective placements in agricultural equipment manufacturing sector.
1.2 Desired Area of Impact
In terms of importance, the areas are ranked as follows.
Areas Ranking Justification

3PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Strategy The strategy is to enhance the TAHS program
using computer based system
Operational The computer based system will provide necessary
features for the TAHS program.
Financial Globex wants to minimize operational as well as
project costs
Social Globex wants to place more skilled students in the
industry
Customer There is no specific customer associated with this
project
1.3 Project Value
From the given values, the two most important values that are essential for this project
are Better and Do More. “Better” value refers to the improvement in the quality of recruitment in
the manufacturing sector as the interested students will be trained and the best performing
students will be placed in the industry once the academic session is complete (Kerzner &
Kerzner, 2017). “Do More” value refers to the growth of the organization by recruiting efficient
and trained employees in the manufacturing sector.
1.4 Appropriate Metric
It is expected that after the project, the organization will be able to reduce annual
expenses by 20% as it will no longer need to train employees on frequent basis. Furthermore,
with the placement of more efficient and trained employees, the annual productivity of the
company in terms of profit is expected to rise by at least 30%.
