University Project: RALS Project Management - Virtucon and Globex Case

This project management assignment focuses on the Riverina Agriculture and Lifetime Shows (RALS) project, a scenario involving Virtucon and Globex. The assignment details the development of an online ticketing system to address issues with long queues. The report is divided into several parts, including the Measurable Organizational Value (MOV), project scope management, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) development, project activities, resource identification, cost and time estimations, risk analysis, quality management plan, and a closure plan. It outlines desired areas of impact, identifies different types of values, and develops appropriate metrics. The assignment also includes a Gantt chart illustrating the project timeline, a list of project resources, and a detailed WBS. Furthermore, it presents a risk management plan and a quality management plan. The project aims to improve customer satisfaction, streamline operations, and ensure financial viability through efficient online ticketing.

2PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Part 1: Measurable Organizational Value (MOV)
Analyzing the Virtucon and Globex scenario it has been defined that the company is
willing to arrange a 3 days event named as Riverina Agriculture and Lifetime Shows (RALS) for
their consumers. The show mainly deals with the local businesses, suppliers of the agricultural
equipment suppliers and other lifetime products. The most important components those are
strictly required to be followed by the project developers include co –ordination for show stand,
live program display, catering and volunteers. The volunteers have thought about this planning in
the year of 2000 and the show is organizing by the organizers from 2000. With the number of
passing days the numbers of participants are also increasing accordingly thus the queue for ticket
booking is also increasing and the participants are losing their patients for this long queue. In
order to reduce these issues the organizers have decided to develop an online ticket booking
website for their consumers.
This report depicts the scope of the project including the project resources, allotted time
and estimated cost as well. In addition to this, for reducing the work pressure from the consumers
a work Breakdown structure is also developed by the program organizers. In order to implement
the RALS project successfully it is necessary for the project manager to allot proper time and
cost for the project. Apart from the time and cost management a quality management and risk
management plan is also developed in this report. Even team philosophy must be set properly for
the successful execution of the RALS project.

development strategies will

(Pemsel & Wiewiora,
2013).
Customers 3 Customers are referred to as
the most important asset for
any business thus they are
needed to be satisfied properly
by the services and products
of any business. With user

website the number of
participants will be increased
accordingly.
Operational 4 With the help of functional
and operational excellence the
consumers will be able to get
handle the online ticket
booking system properly
(Schwalbe, 2015).

4PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Financial 1 Financial support is the most
important thing for the
development of RALS project.
With the help of this capital
invested the additional
resources could be added to
the system including the
security and user friendly
mechanism as well (Sanchez,
2015)
Social 5 The communication approach
of between the project
manager and the other project
team members and even with
the sponsors as well could be
improved for adopting social
components.
1.2 Identification of different types of values
Better: The online ticket booking system will help the project manager to serve better
quality and user friendly service to their participants.

5PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Faster: In the online ticket booking system the participants need not to wait in the queue
for getting the tickets rather the entire system will become faster that the manual ticket booking
system.
Cheaper: The number of manpower will get reduced after the implementation of online
ticket booking system because computerized system does not required human power.
1.3 Appropriate metrics development
In order to implement the RALS project successfully, it is necessary for the project
manager to contract with proper project stakeholders. For this project the identified project
stakeholders are as follows:
Name of the stakeholders Expectation
Project manager To complete the project on time within
estimated budget
Finance manager Expect to complete the project within the
estimated budget even if additional resources
are required.
Operation manager To provide proper operational and functional
excellence to the consumers

HR manager To manage the issues of the manpower and all
project team members
Project team members To complete the project on time
