Purpose

The following assignment is a project charter document developed for integrating the analysis of the mobile application and website development for I-Crop project. The purpose of the charter is to form an initial requirement document for the stakeholders so that they can understand the project more easily.

The purpose of the report is to develop a project charter that can be used as an initial document containing all required documents for getting an overview of the mobile application and website development for I-Crop project.

The objectives of the report are,

• To develop an initial document comprising of information about the project schedule and budgetary information
• To enhance the management of the successful development by passing on the information to its stakeholders

The website and mobile application would be effectively helpful in managing the project objectives. The orders and services would be increased and managed easily with the help of the improved communication plan development.

The Globex has decided to implement a new mobile application and website development and named it ‘I-Crop Project’. It would help them in managing the customers and getting active feedbacks from their customer.

Social: The social media platform would be responsible for the development of the successful management of the activities and aligning the formation of the increased management operations. The utilization of the improved functional development would be helpful for aligning the completion of the activities.

Operational: The operational development would be implied for easing the management of the successful development of activities. It is largely responsible for the continuation of the activities and forming management of the functional development.

Customer: The customer focus on the website development for I-Crop project would be effectively aligned with the independent management of the activities. The customer involvement would be effectively deployed for listing the evaluation of the functions for taking care of actions.

Financial: The financial operations of the I-Crop project would be held responsible for the completion of the activities and aligning development model.

Better- the implementation of the I-Crop project would be effectively deployed for integrating the utilization and formation of the successful continuation of the projects.

Faster- the faster completion of the projects would be implied for forming the cohesive management of the activities.

Cheaper- the overall cost required for the completion of the activities of Globex can be reduced by the help of the automatic activities due to the I-Crop project.

Do more- the applications of I-Crop project would be implied for taking care of the prominent development of the operations like communication and information transfer.

Journal: International Journal of Project Management

Author(s): Badewi, A.

Summary: According to Badewi (2016), the impact of project management and benefit management practices have been largely deployed for adjusting the analysis of the operations and defining of the successful management operations. The project management has been holding considerable role for the evaluation of the existing operations and aligning the imitation of the effective operations. The evaluation of the methodologies of development and execution had been largely employed for forming the management of the successive development. The combination of the practices of development had been implied for listing the management of the operations and definite increment of the successful project execution. The framework for the smart alignment model would be helpful for listing the evolution of the project management and alignment of the smart project execution. The analysis of the functions for benefit management and project management practices for the completion of the project structural framework.

Author(s): Kermanshachi, S., Dao, B., Shane, J., and Anderson, S.

Summary: According to Kermanshachi, Dao, Shane & Anderson (2016), the analysis of the complex project management is a major factor for defining the influence for the development modelling. The study was conducted for understanding the significance of the factors of project management and the utilization and development using the innovative and effective project management. The alignment of the probable management process for the listing of the contemporary management has been helpful for co-ordinating the development of the innovation and smart project development. The management of the complex projects would be aligned for implying the renovation development and implication of the innovative technology. The integration for the successive management would be implied for innovation the prospect of smart project development. The alignment of the successive introduction management would be implied for operations. The usefulness of the project integration development would be listed for aligning with the cohesive management development.

Journal: International Journal of Project Management

Author(s): Martens, M. L., and Carvalho, M. M.

Summary: As stated by Martens and Carvalho (2017), the key factors for the successful sustainability of the project management operations. The context of project management has been largely implied for listing the utilization of the smart innovation formation. The sustainability of the project activities had been largely responsible for innovation of the activities and integrating the alignment and development. The deployment would be aligned for successful integration and utilization of the factors for easing the management process. The integration and implication of the effective project management development would be helpful for innovating the consideration and development. The exploration of the activities for implying the management of the operations for the operational development of the operations has been implied for implying the successful development model. The identification of the key factors for using the successful integration and management activities was implied for innovation development. 

The project closure checklist is managed for the involvement of the improved management and development. The closure checklist would be accordingly developed considering the innovation and implication management. The following is the closure checklist for the project,

Checklist Item	Checked?
Is the project plan sustainable for the developing mobile application and website?	Right
Have all the initiation documents made successfully for alignment of activities?	Right
Are the outputs of design simulation positive for users?	Right
Is Program Development for the project aligned with the completion plan?	Right
Are the final project report been made cohesively?	Right

The evaluation of the project is aligned with the consideration and evaluation of the factors for integrating the successful innovation and development. The evaluation of the project integration and management can be implied for integrating the utilization and management process. The evaluation of the activities had been integrating the management process. The evaluation of the activities has been largely responsible for aligning management of the activities. The evaluation factors are,

• Project plan sustainable for the developing mobile application and website
• Initiation documents made successfully for alignment of activities
