Mobile Based Farmer Support Application Project for Globex Corporation

This project report details the development of a Mobile Based Farmer Support Application (MBFSA) for Globex Corporation. The project begins with a Measurable Organizational Value (MOV) assessment, defining the project's impact and stakeholder expectations. The report then outlines the scope management plan, including requirements, deliverables, and a resource list. A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is provided, along with a Gantt chart illustrating the project timeline and milestones. The report also covers project assumptions, a risk identification framework, and a mitigation plan. Finally, a quality management plan is included, ensuring project quality through validation and verification activities. The MBFSA aims to improve farmer productivity and efficiency through a mobile application.

Part 1: Measurable Organisational Value (MOV)
1.1 Project Overview
The defined project based on defining a project based on a mobile based farmer support
application. The described project has been established for MBFSA project by Globex. The
primary objective of the Globex firm is helping famers in increasing the productivity of the firm
based on the reduction of overall time needed for the cost of the project. The Globex
organisation is mainly operating over the development of the mobile based application for the
farmers.
The primary aim of the application is to help the local government to understand the
different conditions of the weather. This kind of insights would be highly helpful for the farmers
to develop such kind of strategies that would also help in bringing a major impact towards the
production of crops. This kind of application would be highly helpful for the farmers to different
forms of strategic decisions in relation to producing crops by making a proper use of fertilisers
and thus yield more amount of profit in a very less amount of time.
1.2 Identifying the Impact Area
Operational – The MBFSA would be having a high functional and an efficient operation
plan.
Strategy – The MBFSA would be able to manage the crop production system in an
efficient manner and thus also monitor the activity of the farmers.
Customer – The farmers making use of the application would be highly benefited.
Social – The application would greatly benefiting towards putting an impact on the
farming society.

Part 2: Scope Management Plan
2.1 Scope Management Plan
2.1.1 Requirements of the Project
The different varying requirements for the project would include: higher performance,
effective mode of coordination, best functionality and efficiency of cost factors.
2.1.2 Scope for Project
Out of Scope – The project based on the development of the MBFSA system would be
helpful for the training for the employees of MBFSA. The application based on the development
of the MBFSA system would be installed in each of the mobile phones of the farmers. The
project would incur the details based on saving each of the necessary details within the database
of the application.
Project Scope – The project is based on developing a MBFSA system that will be
performed within the pre-determined budget and time allocated during the planning phase. The
project would also have an effective management system based on the management for
volunteers involved within the MBFSA. An effective form of project management approach
would be necessary for developing the MBFSA system.
