Online Stud Farm
Management System

1. Part One:
MOV - Measurable Organisational Value
Online stud farm management system is used for replacement of the current manila systems into
Globex.
Rank the area of impact
Area of Impact Rank (1 to 5)
Financial 2
Social 3
Strategy 1
Operational 3
Customer 4
Summarize MOV in table format
Area of
impact
The area of impact which is ranked 1 is strategy. The business strategies of the
system is making of ticket bookings throughout the web application and mobile
web. There are also storing of breeders records, payment records and generates of
breeders reports.
Types of
values
Better: The system manages all the
manual tasks better by automatic
processes. It also improves the
productivity of the company.
Cheaper: The system automates the
ticket booking process which results
into reducing the operating cost of the
stud farm.
Appropriate metric to set target and expectations of the project stakeholders:
Project
Manager
It is the expectations of the project manager are to gather of customer
requirements and manage them all. It also manages the project activities and team
responsibilities.
Software
Engineer
It is the expectations of the software engineer are to share of idea show the system
will become more effective.
Mobile app
developer
It is the expectations of the mobile app developer are to ensure that performance
of the system is used to measure the team success and responsible for mobile app
development activities.
Timeframe The entire timeframe to meet MOV is 6 months and project manager is responsible
to meet the project targets and objectives.

2. Part Two:
Scope (minimal 10 items)
 The project documents are prepared and recorded as per project requirements.
 The design of the system is done based on organizational requirements.
 There are design and implement of database modelling.
 The team members should have project logs and plan into standard format.
 Design of project architecture
 Develop of website application
 Responsible to development of user interfaces.
 Develop of the mobile app
 Design and implement of database modelling
 Testing of the proposed system
 Complete the project plan within 6 months.
Out of Scope
 There is no adding of extra features into the online stud farm management system.
 There are no training programs for the employees.
Assumptions
 The project plan should complete within proposed timeframe and budget.
 There should be proper development of system to meet the organizational requirements.
 There is no possibility of delays and over budget of the project plan.
Constraints
 The system will reduce the cost of the project by its estimated value.
 The system will reduce the time required to complete the plan by around 15 days
Scope Management Plan –
The purpose of scope management plan in this report is to deliver the project on scheduled time.
There are four processes of the project scope management such as planning, design and
implementation, controlling and closure phase. The project plan captures as well as defines the
project work which is to be done. After the planning, the project manager goes for design and
implementation of proposed system, controlling is focused on documentation tracking, tracking and
scope creep, closure phase is included of audit of the deliverables.

Part Five:
 Statement on quality system
 Into this project plan, it is required to deliver of quality software product, web
application and mobile application for stud farm. The system should such that it
would satisfy the customers. Development of the product performs of needed
functionalities but the customers are not satisfied. Therefore, only quality product
should e=be delivered to satisfy the customer’s requirements.
 Develop the system quality by:
 A set of verification activities
Verification Activity When?
Requirements based testing In testing phase
Review the test specifications In testing phase
Code review In design and implementation phase
Training related to the verification
activities
In closure phase
Specification review In controlling phase

 A set of validation activities
Validation Activity When?
Check final product to meet business
needs
In planning phase
Determine if software is fit for use In testing phase

Appendix
The three articles for the annotated bibliography are as follows:
Article 1: “Zwikael, O., Chih, Y. Y., & Meredith, J. R. (2018). Project benefit management: Setting
effective target benefits. International Journal of Project Management, 36(4), 650-658.”
The article is focused on target benefits of information system which is to reduce the operational
cost as the project goals which is contributed to long term improvement into the performance of
organization. Target benefits are very critical as it will support the decisions regarding the project
investment, directions towards the project management and enhances the organizational
performance. Goal setting theory is developed and validated to measure the target benefits. The
benefits contributed to improve project investment, decision making along with benefit
management processes. The benefits of information system are specific as well as attainable.
Article 2: “Ramazani, J., & Jergeas, G. (2015). Project managers and the journey from good to great:
The benefits of investment in project management training and education. International Journal of
Project Management, 33(1), 41-52.”
The article provides of gap among the providers and those deal with the project such as project
manager. This article is explored to evaluate the development of project manager from perspective
of the project manager. Into the IT project, the project manager develops critical thinking to deal
with project complexity, develop of project parameters to manage the project and engaged into real
life projects. All the projects should invest into project management training as all the employees are
not have required skilled into technical system. The project management ensures that benefits of
the project based approach are benefited by development f project goals and objectives. It ensures
that the project is proceeding throughout project management phases. It is implemented of
processes to manage of changes towards the project scope. Therefore, it results into minimizing the
project risks associated with the end products.
Article 3: “Punt, A. E., Butterworth, D. S., Moor, C. L., De Oliveira, J. A., & Haddon, M. (2016).
Management strategy evaluation: best practices. Fish and Fisheries, 17(2), 303-334.”
This article is analysed the management strategy evaluation which is involved to compare the
effectiveness to achieve of project objectives. There are use of various analysis tools and techniques
to lead management actions. Management strategy is facilitated and aimed to represent project
uncertainty, effective results of the project testing and present of decision makers. This strategy
helps over the standard approaches to provide of management advices. The researcher discusses
the approach to evaluate as well as implement of management strategies for identification and
operationalise the strategies to manage the project work. The researcher is mainly focused to design
and implement of management strategies to rebuild as well as maintain of the project objectives for
the stakeholder’s expectations. It is no doubt that the management strategies would rebuild of
sustainable management into the organization.
