Project Charter for Mobile Application Development: Virtucon/Globex

This project charter outlines a mobile application development project for Virtucon and Globex, focusing on a farmer support application. It includes an introduction, project overview, and a detailed analysis of the Measurable Organizational Value (MOV), considering impact areas, project value, stakeholder expectations, and time requirements. The charter defines the project's scope, resources, and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), along with milestones, deliverables, resource allocation, and a comprehensive budget. Furthermore, it addresses assumptions, identifies potential risks, and proposes risk ownership strategies. The document also describes the team's philosophy, verification and validation processes, and a project closure checklist. An evaluation of the project MOV is performed, and an annotated bibliography supports the project's methodologies and concepts.

Introduction
The project plan that is prepared gives a description of mobile application development
project linked with Globex and Virtucon. This particular project plan will identify the
organizational values concerned project and the impact area. The report further discusses the
detailed approaches of project scheduling, cost considerations and the risks concerned with this
particular project.
Description/Overview
A farmers’ support application is to be developed that will collect and demonstrate the
data related to weather. The weather data will help in improving the approaches that are
undertaken to crop crops in the region. The local government will help the team in collecting the
data related to weather.
Part One: MOV
The measurable organization value is necessary for understanding the values or the
benefits that a project team will realize in successful finish of the undertaken project.
1.1. Impact Area
Area of Impact Rank Effect
Financial 1 The financial area is ranked 1
particularly because the project
aims in reducing the financial
loses.
Operational 2 Since a smart mobile application

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
is being developed, the product is
considered to have an operational
effectiveness and therefore, it is
ranked 2
Customer 3 Globex is developing an
application for the farmers and
the customers and therefore is
ranked 3
Strategy 4 In this project, a mobile
application is being developed.
Mobile devices are nowadays
accessible to majority of the
individuals and therefore
considered to be an effective
strategy.
Social 5 The entire MBFSA program is
designed for benefit of the
customers and therefore, has a
large social significance.
1.2. Project Value
On evaluation of the project case, the values that are found to be concerned with the
execution and implementation of the MBFSA project include cheaper and faster. Cutting cost is
important as the farmers are experiencing loses due to improper farming practises. The

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Smartphone application that is being deployed aims in faster information storage and transfer
and therefore, this particular project will add value of cheaper and faster to the project team.
1.3. Expectations from Stakeholders
Stakeholders Expectations Target
Virtucon The expectations from this
stakeholder is quite clear as the
stakeholder is in charge of
developing and deployment of
the farmer support application
6 months of completion
Farmers The expectations from this
stakeholder is quite high as they
are the main stakeholders linked
with the project.
Maximum 10 days for training
Globex It is expected that this particular
stakeholder will provide the
needed guidance to Virtucon
Maximum 7 days fro
specification providing
Government It is expected that the information
needed from the government will
be readily supplied.
Maximum 1 month for
information delivery

Part Two
2.1. Scope
The project scope generally outlines the critical milestone and deliverables of a particular
project. The tasks within scope are required to be executed in an effective manner.
In-scope:
 Prototype delivery within 2 months Final application delivery in 6 months Training a particular group of farmers
Out-Scope:
 Maintenance of the project after delivery The training will be a one-time activity and would not be extended

Part Three
3.1. Work Breakdown Structure
One of the assumptions considered in development of the WBS is that the prototype that
will be delivered would be accepted, contributing to the completion of the project within Six
months.
