MOV - Measurable Organisational Value

  • Identify the desired area of impact - Rank the following areas in terms of importance: Strategy / Customer / Financial / Operational / Social
  • With reference to your project, identify one or two of the following types of value:
  • Better - is improving quality important to your client?
  • Faster - does your client want to increase efficiency?
  • Cheaper - is cutting costs important?
  • Do more - does your client want to continue its growth?
  • Develop an appropriate metric - this sets the target and expectation of all the stakeholders. It is important to determine a quantitative target that needs to be expressed as a metric in terms of an increase or decrease of money.
  • Determine the timeframe for achieving the MOV - ask yourselves, when do we want to achieve this target metric?

Define Scope and produce a Scope Management Plan

Define the scope of the project and detail how the scope will be managed.

Identify and detail the resources for the project using MS Project where appropriate, including:

  • People (and their roles), plus any extra personnel that is required for the project.
  • Technology - any hardware, network and software needs to support the team and your client.
  • Facilities - where will most of the teamwork be situated?
  • Other - for example, travel, training etc.

Using MS Project, develop a schedule using a high-level Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). It should include:

  • Milestones for each phase and deliverable
  • This will tell everyone associated with the project that the phase or deliverable was completed satisfactorily.
  • Activities / Tasks
  • Define a set of activities / tasks that must be completed to produce each deliverable.
  • Resource Assignments
  • Assign people and resources to each individual activities.
  • Estimates for Each Activity / Task
  • Develop a time estimate for each task or activity to be completed.

Project Risk Analysis and Plan

  • Document any assumptions you have made about the project
  • Using the Risk Identification Framework as a basis, identify five risks to the project – one for each of the five phases of the methodology.
  • Analyse these risks, assign a risk to an appropriate member, and describe a strategy for the management of each specific risk.

Quality Management Plan.

  • A short statement that reflects your team’s philosophy or objective for ensuring that you deliver a quality system to your client.
  • Develop and describe the following that your project team could implement to ensure quality;
  • A set of verification activities
  • A set of validation activities

Closure and Evaluation

  • Develop a closure checklist that the project team will use to ensure that the project has been closed properly.
  • Develop a project evaluation – outline and discuss how your project’s MOV will be evaluated.
Part One

The Globex established a prior project on Rivarina Agriculture and Lifetime Show (RALS, a 3 days event) from 2000. This show demonstrates the local business, agricultural equipments suppliers and the lifestyle products as well. For proper management of the RALS projects the components those must be followed by the program developers include show stand co ordination, live display of the program, catering, volunteers etc. The tickets for RALS show are available in the RALS gates which are manual however; in order to resolve the issues associated to manual ticket booking system, the Globex committee has decided to adopt computer based ticket booking system for their consumers. With the help of manual ticketing the efficiency and timeliness will increase accordingly.

In addition to this for this change the service providers are needed to rearrange the existing approaches in terms of proper quality management, budget management, time management, risk management etc. In order to execute the project concept without any error it is necessary for the project manager and project development team members to work according to the work breakdown activities within estimated time and budget as well.

After the successful completion of the project, Globex will be able to satisfy the consumers by reducing the length of the queue and by increasing the timeliness of the online ticket booking system. In addition to this, the Measurable Organizational Values (MOV) must be utilized appropriately.

The scope of the project is to develop RALS event for the consumers with improved ticket booking system. With the help of this improvement the users will be able to get tickets online and they will not be required to wait in long queues. The scopes of the project are as follows:

  • To deliver passes for all 1, 2 and even for 2 days
  • To execute the project within the estimated budget and time as well
  • To execute E-ticket booking opportunity for the consumers
  • To implement risk management and quality management plan

After successful completion of the project the project manager and the project team members will be able to deliver online tickets to the consumers where they need not to wait in a any queue and even they can also use the mobile app for booking tickets regardless of their location and time as well.

Technology: Proper digital devices, with additional software and hardware and internet connections are also needed

Facility: While developing the website, proper team activities must be done in the project planning and execution phase properly.

With the help of proper online ticket booking system the service providers will be able to grab more number of new consumers and existing consumers as well. In addition to this, the components those ought to be considered include leadership and motivational approach of the project manager, cost management plan of the finance manager and the roles play by the project team members.

After analyzing the details of RALS event project it has been found that in order to complete and execute and implement the project successfully it is necessary to consider all the current project activities properly. It will help the project manager and the project team members to gain competitive advantages and higher revenue value as well. Additionally, the Measurable Organizational Values (MOV) could also be estimated appropriately to deliver user friendly ticket booking system to the event participants. The available ticket options are as follows:

  • Pass for one day, 2 days and for all the three days
  • Family passes
  • Kids and student’s passes and passes for the stall holders

Again the RALS committee has requested for the below components:

  • Ticket sales details
  • The number of tickets sold and the remaining
  • Online and offline buyers details etc
