It is found that due to the use of manual system, it became quite challenging for the organization to handle the operations of the business effectively. For resolving the issues, Globlex provided fund for developing new management system. The development of management system would be quite beneficial as the organization will be able to manage the operations of the organization quite effectively and the customers will get online breeding services.

In this project, project charter is created in order to reflect the development of online management system within the organization Stud farm. The paper focusses on measurable organizational values and identifies the impact that is created by the project on different areas. Proper schedule is prepared for the project in order to determine the budget and time needed for the project. Additionally, the paper also implements risk mitigation strategies for the risks that generally occurs within the project.

1. Part One:

 The value that is delivered by the project are mainly elaborated below:

Better: The services that is provided to the customers of the organization are quite better as compared to the services that is delivered by the organization by utilizing the manual system. It is found that the customers can be able to get services of breeding and can pay for the services through their mobile.

Faster: the operation of the organization becomes faster and as a result, the response time between the customers, organization reduces, and as a result, the customers generally get response quite faster with the help of the new system.

     Cheaper: The money that is required for the management of the organizational operation is quite less when the new system is used as the system itself handles the entire operation of the business and therefore the organization does not needs to hire employees for managing.

1.3 Appropriate metric

• Designing the interface
• Developing database
• Facility of breed registry
• Developing facility of easy recording of process
• Breeding review process development
• Facility of customised communication
• Development of database for marketing
• Location facility development
• Development of contract management
• Option for tracking cost’

The out scope includes:

• The travelling cost is not included within this project
• The suppliers details are excluded from this project

The project assumptions are as follows:

• It is found that within 97 days the project will be finished
• It is expected that $85,440 will be enough for finishing the project.
• It is assumed that scope will be used while progressing from one phase to another.

The project constraints are as follows:

• It is found that within 97 days the project  must be finished
• It is found that within $85,440 the development of the system must be finished.
• The scope must be used while progressing from one phase to another.

The project scope can be managed with the help of steps that are mainly explained below:

 Understanding requirements: The manager of the project who are generally involved in the project must effectively understand the needs and demands of the project so that the scope of the project can be successfully managed within the entire lifecycle of the project.
