Customer: Globex is focused on building of implementation of customer system to provide higher level of customer services. The proposed system helps to get details of stud, breeder, and payment related details.	2
Financial: The financial investment into the online system is required to be focused, and the project sponsor should deliver right amount of capital at the time of implementation of system.	1
Operational: The software developer should concentrate on maintenance of operations of online stud farm management system.	3
Social: The farm should provide proper social support while implementation process is taken place. The social support helps to reduce the administrative errors.	5

The chosen area of impact which is ranked as number 1 is financial strategy. With reference to project values, it is cheaper. The profit of proposed online stud farm management system is dependent on proper cost. The price of booking is cheaper to attach of more customers.

The development of metric which sets target and expectations of stakeholders are:

Stakeholder	Expectations
Database Developer	To develop of database for online stud farm management system
Project Manager	· To plan the project from initiation till the closure phase · To engage for managing the risks associated with the system
System developer and analyst	To integrate and develop the online stud farm management system
Scrum master	· To assist of challenges into the system · To mitigate the risks from the project plan

The total timeframe to achieve the MOV is 3 months. The people those want to achieve the target metric are Project Manager and their project team members.

Requirements are gathered and documented properly as per the project requirements.
Design and Develop of a proper stud management system.
Test and Implement the online system within estimated timeframe of 3 months.
Reports are implemented as per project requirements.
Support the system through warranty period of 3 months.
There is high level of customer services.
There is performing of online payment gateway.
The online system consists of feedback options.
The consumers can operate the system from anyplace and anytime.
The system provides facility of online booking but also assists in providing effective facility of data maintenance.

The proposed system has no such implementation of marketing strategies to develop it.

It is assumed that the online stud farm management system implementation work should complete within the timeframe of 3 months and all the project resources should successfully complete their work within scheduled time. With implementation of proposed system, the customers can perform of online booking and payment in faster and cheaper way.

There are triple constraints into the project such as cost, time along with scope. There are time constraints when the project work is not completed within scheduled time. There are cost constraints when there are over budget of the project as compared to estimated budget. There are scope constraints when the system will reduce manual issues and maintain of proper records.

A scope management plan is required for the project to follow the project work properly. There is scope of hiring of more resources for the implementation process so that the project manager can able to complete the plan on scheduled time and budget. A prototype is designed to get desired project outcomes to serve better services to target customers.
