Describe about the Online Farm Management System.

Globex Corporation is a reliable agricultural consultancy company which provides agricultural solutions to their local clients. The company mostly operates the  firming process related data and information through utilising offline Data Base Management System. However, the company is recently experiencing various database related anomalies including data redundancy, inconsistency, data missing and many more. Therefore, Globex Corporation has decided to change their existing database system to more efficient online-based database management.

Virtucon Consultancy is an information technology (IT) service provider company. Being a client Globex Corporation requested Virtucon Consultancy to develop a advanced online based database management system that can automatically remove the data repetition and other errors and can be accessed online in a server based platform. The following part describes the team management and reflection of work development for the software development project.

The goal of this project is to develop a online DBMS system named “Online Firm Management System” or OFMS for the client Globex Corporation to reduce their database anomalies and to incorporate online accessibility.  OFMS should be developed keeping the farming operations, parameters, operators, security factors, purpose and regulators within the process.

The goal of this project was to develop the “Online Farm Management System” or OFMS for the client Globex Corporation and executing a effective maintenance and evaluation process. The success factors of this project is the efficiency of developed system, the expectations of the client, satisfaction of the client and the rate of post installation errors. Keeping this in mind, I tried to clearly explain the purpose, vision and objectives of the project to the team members. Being a leader I have experienced that effective communication is the most essential part of any project management, which allow all team members to resolve their ambiguities. I also experienced that sharing the values and ethics is essential for team management. To prioritise these issues I conducted multiple meetings in several phases of system design, development and implementation. At the same time, the meeting enabled all the team member to convey their perspectives and opinions (Curran & Niedergassel, 2011).

As per my observation during the project management plan and implementation, a project manager should have detailed knowledge about the technical requirements and potential utilisation of several technological tools in order to manage the project in more cost and time efficient way (Jabbar & Malik, 2017). The project manager should have the skill of motivating and empowering the team member through assisting them with various supportive materials and models. The project manager should also has the in depth concept about the skills and abilities of individual team member. The project manager should have the skill to develop a detailed grant chart considering the potential constrains (Farr & Brazil, 2012). I have also experienced that the project manager should have enough knowledge about stakeholder analysis and communication plan as well. Project manager has to be aware of the roles and responsibilities of the team members and their deliverables (Kokkonen, 2018). 

Conclusion 

The aim of this application development project was to develop an online DBMS system named “Online Firm Management System” or OFMS for the client Globex Corporation to reduce their database anomalies and to incorporate online accessibility.  From the above project management plan and reflection, it can be said that effective stakeholder analysis and communicational plan are essential for any project management. Apart from that, to be a strong ITC project manager administration, group development and empowerment is essential.  Throughout the application development project the acknowledgement and expectation of client was the major concern.
