Project Report: Ticketing System Development for RALS Project

This project management report details the development of a ticketing system for the Riverina Agriculture and Lifestyle Show (RALS). The report begins with an analysis of MOV values, ranking factors like operations, client needs, finance, social impact, and strategy. It then outlines a comprehensive scope management plan, defining scope, requirements, in-scope and out-of-scope items, and project deliverables. A detailed project schedule, including work breakdown structure (WBS), task durations, and dependencies, is presented. The report also includes a risk analysis, identifying potential risks, their ranking, related project phases, risk owners, probability, severity, and potential responses. A quality management plan, covering verification and validation activities, is also provided. Finally, the report concludes with a project closure checklist and evaluation, assessing the project's functionality, cost-effectiveness, and overall performance. An annotated bibliography supports the report's findings. The report is a comprehensive project management plan for the RALS ticketing system.

2PROJECT MANAGEMENT REPORT
Part 1: MOV Values
Ranking: The project of Ticketing System Development for RALS is formed for ensuring that a
proper and systematic system for the storing and printing of the tickets for the Riverina
Agriculture and Lifestyle Show. The implication of the effective and improved processing
methods would imply the formation of the improved processing and the development of the
integration management. The project had to comprise the formation for enduring the specific
terms of finance, operations, client, strategy, and social issues for the development of the project
operations. The analysis of the these factors have been given in the table below,
Factor Description Ran
k
Operation The business operations are the most prominent factor that can impact
the operations of the improved processes for the project. The changes in
project operations would result in forming the tangibility of the specific
project operations.
1st
Client The client factor plays an important role in forming the impact on the
project activities. The client’s requirement is a major factor that would
form the assertive development factor for the project users.
2nd
Finance The financial impact on the project activities would tend to compel the
most appropriate and assertive impact factor for the project. The
financial factor is largely helpful for forming the modification in the
3rd

change of the project activities.
Social Being an IT based system development would tend to form the
modification of the project due to social influence. The social influence
in the project activities would tend to outlast the development factor for
the project activities.
4th
Strategy Strategically the project faces very less change or modification as it can
be implemented by using any of the project management principles and
approach for IT system development and implementation.
5th
a. Better- The project of Ticketing System Development for RALS would be helpful for forming
an integrated information system that is capable for storing all the information in a single
database along with the specific and improved operations for the show.
b. Faster- The ticket generation system for the Riverina Agriculture and Lifestyle Show would be
helpful for listing the visitors of the show and easily form the ticket generation system. The
system would result in compiling and accessing the information by consuming very less amount
of time.
c. Cheaper- The cost of manual ticket generation, salaries of the people managing the operations,
and the information management at various places (files or drives) is very high compare to the
cost of using the ticketing system. Hence, it would decrease the overall cost of the processes and
make the process cheaper in comparison.

d. Do more- The system would also serve as a medium for communication and future operations
as the data would be stored permanently. The system would result in easing the process of the
effective program development and operations.

MOV statement: The MOV statement signifies that, “Ticketing System Development for RALS
Project” can be implied for the modification of the existing information system so that a new
ticketing system for the Riverina Agriculture and Lifestyle Show would be formed for
developing the effective and improved processing methods. The system would also help in
easing the process of the information transfer and accessing.

Part 2: Scope Management Plan
Define Scope: The project of Ticketing System Development for RALS would be helpful for
forming a ticketing system that would be capable of forming the improved functional analysis
and modification of the existing functional development models. The project would involve the
development of a project charter document, project scheduling process, cost budget estimation,
and risk management plan.
Requirements: The project of Ticketing System Development for RALS would comprise of
forming an effective and improved system for ticketing process of Riverina Agriculture and
Lifestyle Show. The project would require the use of the IT system development technology,
project management principles, and effective leadership style. The project plan would also
comprise of using Waterfall Approach for developing the complete project plan. The human
resources required for the project are Analyst, Documenter, Project Manager, Planner, Designer,
IT Engineer, Database Developer, Programmer, Tester, and Trainer.
In Scope and Out of Scope: The in scope items are the factors or elements of the project that
would be included in the deliverables or activities of the project. The project of Ticketing System
Development for RALS would involve the formation of the project initiation documentation,
charter documentation, project scheduling plan, cost estimation planning, risk management
planning, communication planning, scope management planning, complete design development,
user interface development, database development, system is developed, user interface testing,
black box testing, white box testing, training manual development, staff training, and final
documentation. The out of scope items of the project are the elements or components of the
system development and implementation that are not a part of the project management plan. The
