PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Description and Overview
The Globex Corporation aims in increasing the productivity of the farmers by reducing
the time and cost. This is mainly achieved with the use of a wide range of positioning
technologies that include GPS, laser optical and other important application. Aiming to serve the
community in a better way, Globex has decided to initiate Training and Apprenticeship program
for High School Students. In order to manage the training program in an efficient manner,
Globex has given the responsibility of developing a computer based system to Virtucon. The aim
of this document is to develop a charter that will highlight the major requirements and details of
the project.
