Team Name: Stud Farm Web-Based Management System Team
Globex Corp has been awarded a project that requires the development of a stud farm web-based system. Globex has in-turn outsourced this work to Virtucon which is a trusted and closely related developer of Globex so as to make OSFMS an actual reality. The main aim under this project is automation of several manual processes which happens in a typical stud farm. The company behind the current OSFMS manages a lot of process manually such as bookings which causes error prone processing, slower processing time and database errors.
This newly proposed system would eventually surpass the existing system in usability thereafter increasing its speed and reliability and also reducing its error rate.

Prior to the beginning of the project, I understood the leadership role for the success of the project. However, the project further provided insights into the responsibilities of an effective leader to achieve the required results. I also learnt that that leader does not necessarily have to guide all of the core resources on all of their processes and activities that needs to be followed along with that I also need to consider the best practices for the project. This project should set forth an example for future projects.
Also, ICT is quite a bit of difficult field based on the terms of managerial skills required for he PM who is currently involved with an ICT based project and thereby must possess a variety of skills. I learnt that Such skills include the ability to communicate effectively, one must also possess problem solving skills, effective scheduling and resource handling skills, decision making and managerial skills (Westland, 2016). Apart from this, I learnt that the manager should also have a greater understanding of risks as any kind of risks may enter the project and that the project should not freeze or fail ultimately because of such risks (Mmu, 2016).
All critical responsibilities and roles have been properly defined by me and I also mapped all essential skills so as to avoid any confusion. The team working towards the project must also act as a single cohesive unit for effective management and communication. The team must also be ready to take responsibility and act accountable whenever there is any risk or failure under them. Also, in the project, I did the resource allocation effectively and there are all the essential resources in order to deliver the project.
I managed all the interactions among all of the participants effectively using good and tested communication methods and guidelines. Also, I learnt that the needs and perspective of an individual participant must also be considered in overall process. The organization should also provide regular interaction with a team combined together with friendly benefits and employee assessment. There should also be a combined effort between team members in order to improvise upon project activities and also the processes. I observed that certain mechanisms need to be put in place to make sure that continuous improvement of activities and process are being carried out.
