TAHS Project: Development of Computer Based System-Project Plan

This document provides a comprehensive project management plan for the Training and Apprenticeship program for High School Students (TAHS) initiated by Globex Corporation and managed by Virtucon. The plan details the Measurable Organizational Value (MOV) focusing on strategic, customer, financial, operational, and social impacts, with an emphasis on cost-effectiveness. It includes a defined project scope, resources, and a detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) outlining project deliverables and milestones. The project budget is thoroughly presented, along with a risk analysis and management plan addressing key assumptions and potential risks. Furthermore, the document covers the quality management plan, including verification and validation activities, and concludes with closure and evaluation procedures, ensuring successful project completion. The Gantt chart visually represents the project timeline and dependencies.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Description and Overview
The Globex Corporation aims in increasing the productivity of the farmers by reducing
the time and cost. This is mainly achieved with the use of a wide range of positioning
technologies that include GPS, laser optical and other important application. Aiming to serve the
community in a better way, Globex has decided to initiate Training and Apprenticeship program
for High School Students. In order to manage the training program in an efficient manner,
Globex has given the responsibility of developing a computer based system to Virtucon. The aim
of this document is to develop a charter that will highlight the major requirements and details of
the project.
Part 1: Measurable organizational Value
The Measurable Organizational Value (MOV) can be described as the goal of a project
that helps in defining the value that a project will bring to the client. The section below discusses
the desired area of impact of TAHS project and identifies its MOV.
1.1. Desired Area of Impact
The desired area of impact of the TAHS project is represented as follows-
Strategy: The Computer based system that is to be developed for the TAHS project aims
in better management of the training program (TAHS).
Customer: The Computer based system will help the students in getting good and useful
experience in work thereby increasing the employment opportunities.
Financial: The system that is to be developed will work for the profit of the organization.
