Virtucon TAHS Project: Charter, Scope, WBS, and Quality Plan

This document presents a comprehensive project charter for the Virtucon case study, focusing on the Training and Apprenticeship Program for High School students (TAHS). It details the measurable organizational value (MOV) by identifying desired impact areas such as operational, strategy, customer, social, and financial aspects, ranking their importance and defining value types like better, faster, cheaper, and do more. The charter outlines a scope management plan, including project requirements, deliverables, and scope verification processes, along with a list of resources. A work breakdown structure (WBS) provides a detailed breakdown of tasks, phases, milestones, and deliverables, visualized through a Gantt chart. Furthermore, the document addresses project assumptions, risk identification, analysis, and mitigation strategies. The quality management plan ensures quality through activity validation and verification. Finally, it includes a project closure checklist and evaluation, supported by an annotated bibliography. This complete project charter provides a structured approach to managing and executing the Virtucon TAHS project.

Part 1: Measurable Organisational Value
1.1 Project Description and Overview
The Globex Farm Equipment team has 30 years of collective experience in the
agricultural sector. They have been provided with the major responsibility of enhancing the
farming scenario. This would be highly essential for assisting farmers in each step of the
operational procedures. In order to serve the community in a better manner, the management
team of Globex have decided to implement a strategic decision on starting a Training and
Apprenticeship Program for High School students (TAHS). This program is mainly intended for
assisting the students in gaining work experience and thus increasing the opportunities of
employment within the farming sector. These opportunities would be highly needed for various
farming solution specialists.
1.2 Identification of Desired Area of Impact
Operational: The training solution provided to the students would help them in fostering
the skills based on serving different products based on providing farming solutions.
Strategy: The computer-based system of TAHS would efficiently help in delivering the
solution within proper estimated time. They would also help in mitigating the various issues
faced during collection of farming equipment based on the needs of farming solutions.
Customer: The high school students and farmers would be affected with the decisions
made by the management team.
Social: The computer-based system would be able to majorly assist in bringing efficiency
within the TAHS.
