Project Management: RALS Online Ticketing System Implementation

This project management assignment focuses on the implementation of an online ticketing system for the Riverina Agricultural and Lifestyle Show (RALS). The assignment covers various aspects of project management, including defining measurable organizational value (MOV), creating a scope management plan (in-scope and out-scope), developing a schedule with a work breakdown structure, estimating time and budget, conducting project risk analysis, and creating a quality management plan. The project's MOV is assessed across customer, financial, social, strategic, and operational dimensions, highlighting the benefits of the online system. Detailed plans for scope, resource allocation (human, software, and hardware), and time estimation are provided, along with a budget calculation. The risk analysis identifies potential challenges like budget estimation, project management, system functionality, training, and material quality, along with mitigation strategies. The assignment concludes with a quality management plan and a closure and evaluation section, incorporating an annotated bibliography. This comprehensive project plan demonstrates a thorough understanding of project management principles applied to a real-world scenario.
