Project Charter for Online Farm Management System: Stud Farm

This document presents a project charter for an online farm management system designed for a stud farm. It includes a Measurable Organisational Value (MOV) analysis, outlining the operational, financial, customer, strategy, and social impacts of the project, with a focus on improving operations through faster and cheaper processes. The charter defines the project scope, including requirements gathering, system design, testing, implementation, and ongoing support, while excluding transportation and change integration plans. Key assumptions, such as project completion within 65 days and a $40,000 budget, are stated alongside constraints related to technology innovation and human skills. The scope management plan details processes for requirements collection, scope definition, WBS creation, scope validation, and scope control. A resource plan outlines personnel roles, responsibilities, and timelines, as well as hardware, software, and facility requirements. The document also includes a task schedule, cost analysis, risk assessment, quality statement, verification and validation activities, and a closure checklist, supported by an annotated bibliography. This comprehensive charter aims to ensure the successful development and deployment of the online farm management system, benefiting the stud farm through improved operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Desklib provides access to this and many other solved assignments.

The agile methodology provides an extensive development of the activities and formation of the
operations and it would also be helpful for the development of the smart processing and
development. Agile methodologies form the effective principles for the development of the
developing software. The methodology development would align for the implication of the activities
favoring the implication of the operations. The agile methodology would align the utilization of the
operations and forming the successful formation of the continuous development model. The agile
project management would ease the management of the activities for listing the development of the
operations. The utilization of the activities has helped in forming the implication of the activities
favoring the implication of the activities. The projects have formed the implication of the
assumptions and alignment of the operations.
