2RIVERINA AGRICULTURAL LIFESTYLE SHOW (RALS)
Project overview
This paper defines the importance of development of new online ticket booking system
for delivery as per the expectation of the owners and to meet the requirements of the consumers.
The online ticket booking system is arranged for Riverina agriculture lifetime Show (RALS)
organized by the local business named as Virtucon and Globex Company. A show for 3 days has
been arranged by Globex Company to make discussion about the agriculture equipments,
suppliers and about the other lifetime products. In order to make the show successful and
beneficial from the business and consumers perspectives it is necessary to deal accurately with
the liver program display, volunteers and catering services as well.
The concepts for this show was generated the year of 2000 and from that time onwards
the show us being carried out by the company. In order to reduce the work pressure from the
members associated to the project a Measurable Organizational Value (MOV), time schedule and
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is also developed which is elaborated in this report. Apart
from this, a scope management plan, project risk management and a professional quality
management plan is also illustrated in this report.
Part 1: Measurable organizational value
1.1 Desired area of impact
Desired area for
MOV
Ranking Frequency Impact
Strategies 1 Very high Business strategy is referred to as the most
important things to gain measurable

3RIVERINA AGRICULTURAL LIFESTYLE SHOW (RALS)
success from any project. With the help of
project strategies the Globex Company
would be able to gain competitive
advantages and profit at the same time.
Consumers 2 High For any business organization, consumers
are very important asset. In order to satisfy
them the company is required to develop
the system focusing the requirements of the
consumers. Therefore during the
development of the online ticket booking
system the developer should reduce the
level of complexity and must make the
system user friendly.
Financial 3 High In order to meet the requirement of the
consumers, exact amount of capital
investment is necessary. Due to
inappropriate capital investment, the
company might fail to meet the aim and
goal of the project. Therefore, in the project
initiation phase the finance manager should
make a feasibility to make sure about the
total investment and expected outcome.
Operation 4 High In order to grab more number of consumers

4RIVERINA AGRICULTURAL LIFESTYLE SHOW (RALS)
the project manager should initially make
sure that the system is operating as per the
expectation. If it is found that, after
implementation it fails to meet the
functional and operational need then, the
operational ability of the company will be
interrupted.
Social 5 Medium Social support is another important thing
which defines the project success and other
operational criteria collectively. Again
support from the social media is also
required to implement the programs
sequentially.
1.2 Identification of project values
The project values must consider the following elements to ensure that the project is
beneficial.
Better: It is expected that the online ticket booking system will reduce the queue size of
the consumers and also will deliver on time service to the consumers with security and user
friendly application.
Faster: Considering the functional and operational ability of the online ticket booking
system, it is found that, it is faster than the manual ticket booking system.

5RIVERINA AGRICULTURAL LIFESTYLE SHOW (RALS)
Cheaper: The online ticket booking system automatically reduces the cost because in
this approach the number of both the operators and the manpower get reduce.
1.3 Appropriate project metrics development
In order to meet the requirement of the project, proper metrics are needed to be developed
by the project head. Followings are the metrics for project development:
Stakeholder Stakeholder’s Expectation
Project manager The project manager is expecting the complete
the project within estimated time and budget.
Project sponsors The project sponsors are expected to invest as
per the project requirements.
HR manager The HR manager is needed to manage all
project team members.
Operational manger The expectation of the operation manager is to
develop the system in such a way so that it
could operate accurately.
Finance manager The finance manager expects to develop the
online ticket booking system within the
estimated cost or budget.
System developer The system developer expects to develop the
online ticket booking system considering the
leading system requirements.
Business analyst Expects to develop the system considering the
