The Globex organisation wants to change its traditional way of cattle inventory management system by the implementation of online mobile application for placing orders and payments by the customers worldwide. The transformation of business management and operational plan helps in improving the revenue collection and sale of the inventory.
Impact
The focus should be given on analysing the area of impact with the deployment of measureable organization value.

The Author in its research work helps identifying the importance of project scope management plan for the effective development of the project schedule to achieve the project goal successfully. The systematic approach should be developed for managing the project goal and vision. The scope identifies the activities which should be undertaken and activities which should be omitted from the development program of the project. Scope management plan is the set of processes which is used for defining and mapping of the project control policies and process control block required for the development of project. The project charter is comprised of project scope management plan for the approval of project development by the stakeholders. This paper helps in identifying the project activities which should be synchronised for achieving the required goal of the project.
Quality planning is the integral part of the project development process. The success criteria and quality standards should be prepared for the systematic retrieving of project goal. The quality management plan helps in defining the processes, control structure, difference in required output, and others. The development of the quality checklist is the major problem associated with the development of the quality control and standards. The focus should be given of providing quality input, maintaining quality process and managing quality control. This paper helps in identifying the checklist required for measuring the success of the project.
The Author focuses on the development of the work breakdown structure for the project activities. The project activities are systematically divided into groups of activities to achieve the milestone sets for the project completion process. The project development is divided into modules and project phases which complies with the successful project achievement. This paper helps in developing the work breakdown structure for the undertaken project. The activities synchronisation and scheduling with the correct duration of estimation for completing the project helps in achieving the business objectives. The paper plays a vital role in supporting my research work in the scheduling of project activities.
The checklist closure is prepared for identifying the status of the project. It helps in identifying the variation in the output received by the development of the project and the expected output specified in the requirement specification plan. The following table shows the checklist used for evaluating the status of the project:

The success and failure of the project can be evaluated by analysing the checklist prepared for the project. The status of the project activities helps in identifying the gaps in the project development process. The cost overview graph and resource overview graph helps in identifying the project status.
