ICT Project Management: Developing MBFSA Application Report

This report presents a comprehensive analysis of the ICT project management for developing a Mobile Based Farmer Support Application (MBFSA) for Globex. The report begins with an overview of the project, including the Measurable Organizational Value (MOV), defining the project's impact areas, stakeholder expectations, and timeframe. It then delves into defining the project's scope, including in-scope and out-of-scope elements, along with resource allocation. A detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is provided, outlining project milestones, activities, resource utilization, time estimates, and the project budget. The report further addresses risk planning and analysis, identifying potential risks and proposing a risk management strategy. A quality management plan is also included, emphasizing the team's philosophy and outlining verification and validation activities. Finally, the report concludes with a project closure and evaluation section, featuring an annotated bibliography, checklist, and project evaluation details.

Introduction
This report deals with the case study of Globex who is involved in farming equipment
and precision farming. The report purpose is to carry out a detailed analysis for developing the
mobile based application. The objective of the project is developing a MBFSA (mobile based
farmer support application) that would help the farmers to deal with farming efficiently.
Project Description
The case study of MBFSA (Mobile Based farmer support Application) deals with farm
equipment as well as includes precision farming. The main mission of the Globex is to automate
the system so that they can use a mobile based application for the system. Globex wants to
improve the business operations by implementing an application based on mobile and is capable
to manage the MBFSA program.
Part One: MOV (Measurable Organizational Value)
1. Impact Area of Given case Study:
Operational: The mobile supporting system of Globex includes high operational and
high accuracy of all the functions undertaken;
Strategy: The mobile application for the farmer support system will help to manage as
well as monitor the farmers;
Customer: The farmers and whole sellers will not be affected by the application;
Social: The application will assist in efficient organization of MBFSA;
Financial: The system will increase the profitability of Globex Corporation;
