University ICT Project Management: TAHS Project Comprehensive Report

This report provides a detailed overview of the TAHS (Training and Apprenticeship for High School students) project, an ICT project undertaken for Globex Corporation by Virtucon. The report meticulously covers all key aspects of project management, including the Measurable Organizational Value (MOV), which analyzes the project's impact on strategy, customers, finances, operations, and social aspects. It defines the project's scope, lists required resources, and presents a comprehensive Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with deliverables, milestones, and a Gantt chart for scheduling. The report further includes a project budget, risk analysis identifying potential issues and mitigation strategies, and a quality management plan. It concludes with a project closure checklist, evaluation of the project's success, and a bibliography referencing relevant project management literature. The appendix provides additional context by summarizing key concepts from cited research, such as project risk management and benefits realization.
