Project Report: Farm Management System for Stud Farm

This project report outlines the development of a Farm Management System for a Stud Farm, following a waterfall methodology. It includes an introduction, project overview, and background, followed by detailed sections on Measurable Organizational Value (MOV), scope definition, resource planning using MS-Project, risk analysis, quality statements, and verification/validation activities. The report also features an annotated bibliography and a checklist for project closure. The MOV section ranks areas of impact, defines metrics, and sets timeframes. The scope section defines project boundaries and assumptions, while the risk analysis identifies potential threats and opportunities. The annotated bibliography provides summaries of relevant academic sources. The project aims to streamline operations, enhance customer service, and improve financial outcomes through automation and cloud computing, as detailed in the MOV metrics. The project addresses various aspects of farm management, from operational efficiency to strategic marketing, with a focus on ensuring the system's effectiveness and sustainability.

Introduction
Project Overview
The project of Farm Management System for Stud Farm would be developed based on the
traditional waterfall methodology. The activities of the project are sequentially aligned and it would
result in forming the successive alignment of the activities. The project development would be
formed for ensuring that the system is working effectively.
Project Background
The organization of Stud Farm has been dealing with the concept and development of the activities
for aligning with the development of the activities. The implication would also form the utilization of
the operations using the implication of the operations. The development of the farm would align
with the implication of the successive alignment of the operations. The project would form the
alignment of the system for easing the payment process and development of the activities.

Appendix: Annotated Bibliography
1. Health care information systems: a practical approach for health care management
Wager, Lee and Glaser (2017) have provided an extensive study of the healthcare information
system development for the project. The healthcare management system comprises of using
innovative technology development and it would form the implication of the activities for forming
the utilization of the operations. The healthcare information system is deployed for listing the
innovation technology and formation of the activities so that the project can be executed
successfully. The alignment of the project development had supported the implication of the
effective activity development.
2. Managing and Using Information Systems, Binder Ready Version: A Strategic Approach
According to Pearlson, Saunders and Galletta (2016), the activities executed by the information
system are sequentially aligned and it would result in forming the successive alignment of the
activities. The project development would be formed for ensuring that the system is working
effectively. The organizations have been dealing with the concept and development of the activities
for aligning with the development of the activities. The implication would also form the utilization of
the operations using the implication of the operations. The development of the information system
would align with the implication of the successive alignment of the operations. The project would
form the alignment of the system for easing the payment process and development of the activities.
3. Geographic information systems for geoscientists: modelling with GIS
According to Bonham-Carter (2014), the geographic information system development has been
supported by the implication of the successive development of the project activities. The alignment
of the project operations had also supported the implication of the operations for forming the
alignment of the development model. The implication would also form the utilization of the
operations using the implication of the operations. The development of the geographic information
system would align with the implication of the successive alignment of the operations.
