1. Part One: (15 Marks)
1.1 MOV - Measurable Organisational Value (5 Marks)
Identify the desired area of impact - Rank the following areas in terms of importance: Strategy /
Customer / Financial / Operational / Social (5 Marks)
Rank the area of impact (add in any more area you can think of)
Area of Impact Rank (1 to 5)
Customer: Consumers are very
important assets for any business
success. Therefore, the online Stud Farm
Management system should implement
a user friendly automated system.
3
Financial: The Stud Farm System should
have proper financial support to develop
the IS
1
Operational: The system should just not
be implemented rather it has proper
operational and functional criteria as
well.
2
Social: In order to operate the system
correctly social support is also required
from the governments and the project
sponsors.

• SUMMARISE THE MOV IN A CLEAR CONCISE STATEMENT OR TABLE
(Note: the MOV should inform everyone what the project will achieve, not how it will be achieved. It
should also focus on the organisation, not on the technology that will be used to build or support the
information system).
 Choose the area of impact you have ranked as no 1.
 For that area of impact
 With reference to your project, identify one or two of the following types of value:
 Better - is improving quality important to your client?
 Faster - does your client want to increase efficiency?
 Cheaper - is cutting costs important?
 Do more - does your client want to continue its growth?
Among four of the areas the finance is ranked as 1 and following the project background
the two different types of values those are used to measure include better faster and
cheaper.

Faster: Proper financial support is required for the successful implementation of the
online stud farm management system. Based on the invested capital technologies can be
incorporated to the system and during the operational period the technologies will
measure the speed of the system.
Cheaper: The online Stud Farm Management system should offer proper service to the
consumers and that should have accurate affordability also.
 Develop an appropriate metric - this sets the target and expectation of all the stakeholders.
It is important to determine a quantitative target that needs to be expressed as a metric in
terms of an increase or decrease of money.
Stakeholders Expectation
Project manager To successfully accomplish the project objectives
Project sponsor To accomplish the project within estimated
investment
Finance manager To complete the project within the budget that
has been estimated
Stud Farm Management System developer To deliver a secured and efficient system to the
consumers
 Determine the timeframe for achieving the MOV - ask yourselves, when do we want to
achieve this target metric?
After analysing and evaluating the details of Stud Farm Management System project requirements it
can be said that, the project will be successfully completed within $41,705. On the other hand, the
project is determined to be successfully completed within 10 months.
 • Part Two: (10 Marks)
Scope (minimal 10 items) – 10 Marks
 Requirements are gathered and documented
 Design and Develop the Online Stud Farm management system
 Test and Implement the marketing database system before implementation
 Reports are implemented before the final execution of the online management system
 Support the system through warranty period of 18 months
 The system track all the costs and expenses properly
 Should serve security to the company credentials as online payment is available
 To add on mobile features to the system so that the consumers can make pre booking from
mobile app also
 Public liability insurance details are also associated to it
 Digital social promotional activities are also incorporated to the system
Out of Scope
 No accurate marketing strategies are available for the management system
 There is not future maintenance program available

Assumptions
Based on the project background and other project requirements specification it can be said that,
the Stud Farm should implement the system within $41,705 and 10 months of time period. Not only
this but also a mobile app is also planned to be developed for the consumers of online Stud Farm.
With the help of the mobile app the consumers will be able to book primarily regardless of their
location and even time because the online app is available for 24 hours.
Constraints
Triple project constraints in terms of scope, time and budget are considered for the successful
implementation f the project. The system is expected t be completed within 10 months with a cost
of $41,705.
Scope Management Plan – 10 Marks
For obtaining measurable success and effective competiveness it is necessary for the Online Stud
Farm to consider a scope management plan. According to the scope management, the system will
possess all basic components and criteria of online booking system. Whether all the operational
activities are going properly or not are checked trough a testing. It means that the designed
prototype should be tested in terms of unit testing and integrated testing as well.
