2PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Introduction and Project Description
In this project proposed by Globex, a company dedicated to provide specific solutions to
the farming communities, a new mobile application will be developed that will be run by
collaboration between Government, Wholesalers, Farmers and Globex teams. The mobile
application will include a database that will contain relevant details of crops, weather conditions,
crop demands and other major factors such that the crops can be grown in specific regions in
specific weather conditions. In addition to viewing the data from the database, the application
users will also be able to update the data, register new farms and others. Globex has handed over
the project to Virtucon and they will develop the application at much low costs. As per the
agreement, 2 months will be consumed for the pilot project and 4 months for the development of
the final version.
This report is based on the development of a basic project plan that Virtucon can use for
managing the development of the proposed mobile application.
Part 1: MOV
Desired Area of Impact
The desired areas of impact in terms of importance are shown as follows.
Strategy  Customer  Operational  Financial  Social
Value for the Project
The value for this project is better – the customers will have access to better technology
that will help them access various data related to farming and crop production.

Metric
The revenue generation of Globex will rise by 30% within 1 year of completion of the
project as the number of users of the application will increase with sufficient promotion
conducted by the marketing department of Globex.
Timeframe
The project will be completed in 6 months and the timeframe set for achieving the MOV
is 1 year from the completion of the project.
MOV Statement
This project aims to provide a simplified solution to farmers and wholesale groups to
analyze farming and weather data such that they can grow and sell crops accordingly; meanwhile
Globex will be able to generate revenue from the usage of the application as it will be completely
online based.
Part 2: Scope
Project Scope Definition
The scope of this project involves the development of the proposed mobile application in
two stages – the pilot stage in which the prototype will be developed and tested and the final
stage in which the full version of the application will be developed and will be allowed to
download for the farmers and other relevant users.
Scope Management Plan
Scope management is required in the project is order to ensure the prototype is delivered
within 2 months and the final version within 6 months. Scope creep is to be avoided in order to
