Project Charter: Business Case for Online Information System

This project charter presents a comprehensive plan for the development of an online information system for Globex, addressing the Virtucon/Globex scenario. The document begins with an overview of the Measurable Organizational Value (MOV), detailing the project's impact on strategy, customers, financials, operations, and social aspects. It identifies the types of value (better and do more) and establishes a timeline for MOV achievement. The charter then defines the project's scope (in-scope and out-of-scope), resources (hardware, software, and facilities), and a detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with milestones and deliverables. Activities, resource assignments, and budget estimations are provided, along with a Gantt chart for project scheduling. A thorough risk analysis and register are included, along with a quality management plan that outlines team philosophy, verification, and validation activities. The charter concludes with a closure checklist, project evaluation criteria, and an annotated bibliography, providing a complete framework for project execution and management.

PROJECT CHARTER
Part One
Measurable Organizational Value (MOV)
It can be defined as the standard limit or the baseline set for approving the project
execution. There will be a standard for the accomplishment and delivery of the project and the
final deliveries must meet this standard criterion. The project charter is developed must be
meeting the needs of the project or the charter developed.
Area of impact
Strategy: The planning will be to develop a sophisticated project management plan. It can
allow the different stakeholders to be focused on the strategic modifications those are necessary
for the project delivery (Kerzner, 2018).
Customer: The farmers and the local government will be introduced with fast and smooth
services in their field of concerns.
Financial: The budget plan will be developed considering the project quality, and the
baseline of the project will be based on the same. The budget of the project will be managed in a
way, that the quality of the project does not get hampered.
Operational: The existing system will be upgraded, allowing the staffs and the end
consumers in managing the same operations more smoothly and automatically.
Social:Social friendly approaches will be adopted, considering the involvement of the
different stakeholders and adoption of the sustainable factors for facilitatingthe different project
activities (Cagliano, Grimaldi &Rafele, 2015).

The attempts being delivered will be allowing an advanced online management system
for the Globex in a manner to allow them to manage and deliver the daily operations. The
centralized and online accessible system will be contributing to the elimination of the workload
and distribution of the workload accordingly (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). It will be setting the
exact values for the organization that is required in managing the deliverables.

PROJECT CHARTER
Part Two
In – Scope
1. Virtucon will be contributing in the development of the system that can introduce smooth
and effective management of the daily operations for the Globex.
2. Identification and elimination of the existing issues faced by the organization while
developing the system
3. Development of the new information system aligning with the organizational needs and
values
Out – Scope
 Future needs have been considered on the assumption basis, and specific considerations
have not been made for future development.
 The marketing strategy of the Globex will not be considered throughout the project
delivery
 The future enhancement in the existing organizational size will not be considered while
developing the project.
 The involvement of the third party and the outsources will also be kept out-scope for the
project.
