3PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. Introduction
This report depicts the importance of implementing automatic technique over manual
technique to improve the business opportunities of local business, farmers and the lifestyle
products. The company holds many volunteers and management of those volunteers are quite
difficult for every business organization however, in order to manage those information it is
necessary for the business organizations to adopt RALS project that helps to display different
types of events. RALS is a three day event arranged by the companies which display agricultural
events, local business and farmers as well in the lifestyle products management. In order to
develop the restoring system, volunteer efficiencies are required to be managed properly.
This report demonstrates the measurable organizational values (MOV) including the
scope management system, resource management, Gantt chart and milestones to provide quality
services to the consumers. It has been defined that the RALS event might face several challenges
during the project progress phase. However, in order to mitigate the identified risk it is very
much crucial to develop proper risk mitigation strategies and those are also illustrated in this
paper. In addition to the volunteer details the issue associated to manual ticket booking system
can also be completely changed after the adoption of new data management application
information system.
2. Measurable organizational value (MOV)
2.1 Desired area of project impact
Customer: The queries of the consumers could be resolved with this RALS restoring
project.

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Strategy: For information tracking and to access data regarding the volunteers this
system is helpful.
Financial: For providing profit to Globex the restoring system that will be developed are
financially helpful for the business provider and consumers as well.
Social: The communication approach among the service providers and the consumers get
enhanced with the help of this system.
Operational: The details of the consumers could be accessed easily after the
implementation of the system. It also reduces the time span for each activity and reduce the rate
of man made errors.
2.2 Value of the project plan
Better: A better service can be provided to the consumers
Cheaper: A cheaper service will be developed
Faster: The services become after the implementation of the system

5. Project risk analysis and planning
5.1 Project assumption
The project is expected to be completed in 2 years within the estimated budget developed
by the project manager and the finance manager. Additional budget is also allotted so that while
required additional resources could be added to it.

14PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Risk with project initiation phase: In this phase, if the project manager fails to estimate
the project budget in the initiation phase considering the changes for manual ticket booking
system to automated ticket booking system, then, it will be a biggest risk to the company.
Risk with project planning phase: In the project planning phase, if the application
programmer fails to design the prototype accurately then it will be a major challenge to the
developers.
Risk with project execution phase: In the field testing period if the project team
member does not make proper prototype then, in the testing phase it will fail to execute the
automated testing in manual ticketing phase.
5.2 Risk assessment

6. Quality management planning
In order to deliver quality products to the consumers it is necessary for the project
managers and the project team members to develop the system in such a way so that none of the
external attackers could access and hijack information from the server. The basic components
those are required to b considered include project mission vision and strategies. The quality
management plan helps the business to gain effective success from the competitive market.
Conclusion
From the overall discussion it can be concluded that after the implementation of RALS
system, different advantages could be gained from the competitive market and it will help to
provide competitive advantages and strategic revenue model as well. The project is expected to
be completed on 155 days with the estimated budget and it is determined that, with the
implementation of this system the risks and scope of the project could be completed within time.
Even the risks mitigation strategies are also elaborated in this report including quality
management and business strategies as well.
