ITC505 - Designing TAHS Program for Globex: Project Charter Report

This project charter report details the design of a Training and Apprenticeship program (TAHS) for Globex, aimed at providing high school students with valuable work experience and increasing their employment opportunities in the farming sector. The report encompasses several key sections, including the identification of Measurable Organizational Value (MOV), which outlines the project's impact on operational, strategic, customer, social, and financial aspects. It also defines the project's scope, including in-scope and out-of-scope items, deliverables, and a resource list. Furthermore, the report provides a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to organize tasks, a Gantt chart for timeline visualization, project assumptions, a risk identification framework, and a quality planning and management strategy. The project involves collaboration between schools, farming equipment manufacturers, and Globex representatives, necessitating the development of a computer-based system to manage the program effectively. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the project's planning, execution, and control aspects, ensuring a structured approach to achieving the program's objectives.

Part 1: Identification of Measurable Organizational Value (MOV)
1.1 Description and Brief Overview of the Project
The management team of Globex have planned for the starting of a Training and
Apprenticeship program that would be based for the High School Students. The training program
would mainly be intended for helping the high school students towards getting useful experience
within their work. The program would further be intended to increase the employment
opportunities for the students in the farming field. This demand has mainly been raised by the
farming specialists as they require highly skilled students in order to meet the demands of
farming.
Based on managing the TAHS program, the Globex team has proposed a plan for
designing an interactive computer-based system. The program would become a collaborative
work based on focusing over three entities, which includes farming, schools, manufacturers of
equipment and the own representatives of Globex. Hence, they have requested Virtucon to
manage the entire aspect of the project by covering every necessary aspect and delivering the
system within proper time.
1.2 Desired Area of Impact
Operational: TAHS computer-based system would incur high system functionality and
would perform the operations with accuracy.
Strategy: The TAHS system would manage the learning experience of students based on
gaining precision within the work experience in relation to farming.
Customer: The students would be highly affected from the application. However, the
manufacturers of equipment would not be affected with developing the computer-based system.

4DESIGNING TAHS PROGRAM FOR GLOBEX
Social: The TAHS system would assist the students and the representatives of Globex to
manage the training programs and increase employment opportunities.
Financial: The development of computer-based system would increase the financial
stability of the company.
