Part One:
1.1 MOV - Measurable Organisational Value
There are five areas of impact of the online stud farm management system. The following table
shows the rank of area of impact.
Rank the area of impact:
Area of Impact Rank (1 to 5)
Strategy 3
Operational 2
Customer 1
Financial 4
Social 4
1.2 Summarize the MOV
The chosen area of impact which is ranked 1 is customer. The proposed system provides better
financial and mobile services to the customers. There are two types of values which are provided by
the system such as:
Better: The system improves the quality which provides a high impact on the customers. The
system provides of better services to client by providing them online booking services.
Faster: The clients want to increase the efficiency of proposed system. The customers are getting
access to the information faster.
1.3 Develop an appropriate metric
Area of
impact

Part Two:
2.1 Scope
 Requirements are gathered and documented.
 Outline the design of system.
 Review the project reports.
 Conducting of project meetings.
 Design and Develop of the system.
 Development of database for the system.
 Review the user interface.
 Test and Implement the system.
 Reports are implemented accurately.
 Identifying and mitigating the system risks.
 Completion of system development and implementation.
 Implementation of budget plan and project timeframe.
 Support the system through warranty period of 5 months.
2.2 Out of Scope
There are some out-of-scope activities of this project such as:
 There are no training programs are conducted to train employees on technical skills.
 There are no recruitment processes.
 There is no future development of proposed system.
 There is no implementation of marketing strategies developed for the proposed system.
2.3 Assumptions
Following are the project assumptions such as:
 The project plan should complete within 143 days.
 The project should meet with its budget.
 The project should not be out-of-scope and project changes do not affect the system
implementation.
 There are enough project resources involved into system development project.
2.4 Constraints
Following are the project constraints such as:
 The project plan must be completed within scheduled time.
 The project should not exceed the budget limit.
 There are project resources involved into system development.
 The system reduces challenges of use of manual system and maintains all the records of
customers securely.

2.5 Scope Management Plan
The system developer is involved to implement of scope management plan to meet with identified
project scope. If the project will be out-of-scope, then the project will not succeed and there should
be huge effect on the project. More resources are hired to complete the plan on time. The project
manager should properly determined the scope items, analyse the factors impact the scope, develop
of integrated plan and deploy of plan to improve the organizational performance.

1. “Pawlowski, J. M., & Bick, M. (2015). The global knowledge management framework: Towards a
theory for knowledge management in globally distributed settings. Leading Issues in Knowledge
Management, Volume Two, 2, 134.”
This particular paper analyses the framework of global knowledge management. It describes the
components into the global knowledge management and guides the project team members to take
of possible decisions regarding the development of information system. This management
framework is such a model that can structure as well as compare the influential factors into global
settings. Those factors are analysed which identifies key relations as well as success factors. There is
influence of some of the aspects such as geographical dispersion, communication into time zones,
cultural influences which is focused on issues to reach the past decades. There are particular global
settings which plays major role into the cultural context.

performance: the importance of soft skills. International Journal of Production Research, 53(2),
321-340.”
This particular article aims to provide a relationship among the risk management along with project
success considering the complexity into the project. This particular approach is combined with
aspects of both hard as well as soft skills. Risk management is identified as a key significant exercise
to achieve of better performance into a project. The success is indicated by means of performance to
achieve of cost, quality, environmental sustainability objectives as well as time. The degree of cost as
well as schedule of time is inevitable into the projects. The objective of this particular study is
investigating the extent of the practices into risk management at the planning phase. The study also
found that there are risks before the design phase of the project work.

project management performance and project success. International journal of project
management, 32(2), 202-217.”
This article analyses relationship among the performance of project management as well as project
success. It also examines the performance of project management that can enhance the success of
project. There is higher influence of the performance of project management factors on success into
the project. It is validated by project management framework along with proposed refinements of
the models. There are multi-dimensional frameworks that are validated as well as used into the
study for measurement of performance of project management.
