Statement of work (Project Sponsor)
To shrink labor and long hours, the software will convert loading grain bin into a 24 hour and Seven days
automated service. Idaho’s Grain farm requires staff to track truck services inbound/outbound and at time
requires more overtime and multiple staff members. The application requires customer management. By
providing code to the system will initiate loading process. Wi-fi service, CCTV, and sensors will also be
implemented. To create, Software will be completed within six months in accordance with software cost
and timing schedule.
Provide a feasibility study on the following:
Economic feasibility
Creating the automated bin loading software will multiply business value and possibly increase revenue
and attract potential clients for Idaho Grain Farm. Bin loading could possibly be three times more
effective and completed in half the time of its manual load. Not only will sales increase but the staff can
either be reduced or reassign manual labor to another desperately needed department within the field.
Organizational feasibility
If software is built, Bin loading can maximize production by servicing multiple clients on same
days/nights. Labor and speed will double by 50%
Technical feasibility
Software created will require physical equipment such as Computerized Operating System (OS) to
respond to Mobile Application. Hardware that responds to operating system to Bin load. Secondary Input
such as a keypad in case of loss of Wi-fi. A keypad will interact directly with OS.

DEVELOPING CORPORATE WEBSITE

Project Objective
The objective of the charter project is to develop a corporate website that will serve the
business needs of the firm. The website will serve the purpose of enabling potential customers to
locate the company online and learn more about its processes and products sold (Theriault,
2014). Notably, the website will be organized by developing the featured contents to ensure that
it serves as an extension of the company’s business card. For example, the website will feature a
list of corporate executives to introduce a customer to the managers in charge of different
departments at the firm.
Manager’s Authority
The manager of the organization is determined to get results, get ahead of the competitors
and get attention from new customers. As such, the development of the website is a necessity to
serve the vats business functions. The manager will oversee the website design and development
process ranging from the collection of initial information to the creation of the website and its
continual maintenance. For example, the manager will ensure that the website is kept up to date
with the integration of current information.
Project Deliverables
Developing a corporate website is a necessity to enable the firm to sell its products. Even
though the company will adopt other promotional approaches such as advertisements, the
corporate website will enable potential customers to locate the company through Google search.
Besides, the websites will enable customers to learn more about the company, an aspect that is
vital to attracting additional customers (Theriault, 2014). Developing the corporate website is
obvious even if the company is not selling its products directly online. Primarily, this is because
it will serve as an extension of the business card by providing vast information about the firm

and the products offered (Theriault, 2014). Considerably, the website will detail the company’s
background, experience, and additional credentials to build credibility among the potential
customers.
Approach of the Project
Information gathering: this will be the first phase for designing a successful corporate
website as many aspects have to be taken into consideration before the site is created. At this
phase, the stakeholders should have a solid understanding of the company that the website is
created for. For example, the software developers should understand that it is an agricultural firm
thus tailor the requirements to meet its needs (Balapour, A., & Sabherwal, 2017). The important
aspects to consider are the purpose of the website, the objectives, target audience (such as food
companies) and the content, that is the information that the target audience will be looking for
such as the crops grown by the firm.
Planning: By using the collected information, the software developers should come up
with a sitemap. The map site will serve as a guide of the development process to include the
essentials. For example, the sitemap should enhance the importance of end-user engagement by
developing a friendly interface thereby prompting ease in customer use (Balapour, A., &
Sabherwal, 2017).
Design: The gathered information forms the basis of determining what the site will look
like. The key factor to consider is the target audience. Considerably, the developers will come
with different prototypes to choose from (Balapour, A., & Sabherwal, 2017). The manager
should oversee the project throughout its development and design phases.
Development: This is the fourth phase when the site is designed. The graphic elements
from the prototype will be used to design a functional website.
DEVELOPING CORPORATE WEBSITE
Testing and Delivery: At this stage, the software developers will attend to the finishing
details and test the website. For example, they can test the complete functionality of the site.
After the final approval, the website files will be uploaded to the server.
