3PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Globex has decided to develop a mobile based farmer support application (MBFSA) that
will allow the target users – local government, wholesalers and farmers to create their own
profiles as well as view and enter specific data regarding crop production and weather. Globex
has hired Virtucon for development of the app that has to be done within six months from the
project initiation. Furthermore, the completion of project pilot and delivery of prototype will
have to be done within two months of initiation.
This report is based on the project plan for the development of the mobile application as
proposed by Globex.
Project Description
In this project, a mobile application will be developed that will have several features
including data entry and analysis for crop production, weather trends and others. There are three
target groups for the project – the government, the wholesalers and the farmers. The application
will be accessible through mobile devices and any of the target users will be able to create their
own personal profile in the app and enter or download data. The project will be conducted in two
phases – pilot project with prototyping and the development of the final version of the
application..
