The lack of a virtual bamboo library poses a significant challenge for Bamboo Warriors PH. Without a virtual library the organization struggles to effectively share knowledge and engage with the public on the importance and diverse uses of bamboo.
By creating the virtual library system, the project would achieve the following outcomes. 1. Increased awareness and understanding of bamboo among the public. 2. Enhanced community engagement through interactive features such as forums and multimedia content. 3. Improved accessibility to comprehensive resources and tools for individuals interested in bamboo cultivation, applications, and sustainability. 4. Strengthened positioning of Bamboo Warriors PH as a leading authority on bamboo-related initiatives in the Philippines.
The recommendation to achieve the results needed is to create a user-friendly website where the Bamboo Warriors PH can share news, videos, articles, photos, and research information about the bamboo here in the Philippines. It is also recommended to have an admin panel where admins can add or create content easily and then upload it so users can view the added content. Through this project's implementation, Bamboo Warriors PH aims to effectively share knowledge about bamboo, enhance public awareness, and encourage active participation within the community.
The recommended project was selected over alternatives such as building a physical library or outsourcing development due to several factors: β’ Cost-effectiveness: A virtual library costs less initially and is more accessible. β’ Scalability: A digital platform can reach a wider audience and accommodate future growth more easily. β’ Alignment with organizational goals: The project directly supports Bamboo Warriors PH's mission of promoting bamboo awareness and community engagement. β’ Risk mitigation: Implementing the virtual bamboo library reduces the risk of limited reach and accessibility associated with physical infrastructure.

The lack of virtual bamboo library for their business. β’ The absence of a virtual bamboo library poses a significant challenge for the Bamboo Warriors PH. This absence hinders the ability of the company to share essential resources and knowledge about the different information about bamboo with the public.
The system that the developers created will only slightly affect the organizational processes, tools, hardware, or software. Since it is a brand-new website one thing, they need is to add an admin which will manage the content creation of the website. The admin will be the one to monitor and manage the website. In terms of hardware, tools, and software they will have little to no impact as everything will be hosted online and admins and users will just use a browser to access the system.
Since the system developed is separate from the existing website of BWP, there will be no migration. The virtual bamboo library that the developers created focuses on the PHP language, and they use Laravel framework for the system. The developers also use the MySQL database to store different data from the website. Client-side β The developers use PHP language to create the various parts of the front end of the website. This includes the homepage, bamboo library page, a forum page, and the contact page of the website. Server-Side β The developers also use the PHP language in developing the server-side of the website. This includes the admin login page and admin dashboard. Database β The developers decided to use the MySQL database which will store different data like articles and resources about bamboo, admin credentials, videos, photos, etc. Framework β The developers have chosen Laravel, a PHP framework, for building the new system. Laravel provides a robust set of tools and features for web application development, including support for MVC architecture, database migrations, and restful routing.
The website will contain a virtual library that will have data about the different type of bamboo here in the Philippines. This project will contain of the following: β’ A home page that will show news, events, stories, and videos about the bamboo in the Philippines. β’ A separate page that will display the collection of different type of bamboo here in the Philippines. The information will include photos, videos, audio, infographics etc. β’ A forum page that will allow users to interact and post each other questions, opinions, experiences, and ideas about bamboo. β’ A contact page about the information of the Bamboo Warriors PH. β’ An admin panel where they can add, edit, and create content for the website. The website aims to educate the public on the importance and different uses of bamboo.
The primary aim of this project is to develop an informative and engaging website dedicated to serving individuals with a curiosity or interest in bamboo. Through this platform, users will have access to comprehensive resources and tools aimed at deepening their understanding of bamboo, its diverse applications, and its significance across various domains. Our overarching objectives include: β’ Educational Resource: Provide in-depth information about bamboo, covering its characteristics, cultivation, ecological importance, and historical significance. Incorporate multimedia elements such as videos, infographics, and interactive features to enhance learning. β’ Application Showcase: Highlight the versatile uses of bamboo across industries such as construction, textiles, renewable energy, and sustainable products. Highlight real-world examples, case studies, and innovative projects to demonstrate the practical applications of bamboo. β’ Community Engagement: Foster a vibrant online community where enthusiasts, experts, and practitioners can connect, share insights, and exchange ideas related to bamboo. Implement discussion forums, comment sections, and social media integration to encourage interaction and collaboration. β’ Practical Guidance: Offer practical guidance and resources for individuals interested in incorporating bamboo into their lifestyles, businesses, or projects. This may include tips on bamboo cultivation, sourcing sustainable bamboo products, or navigating regulatory frameworks. β’ User-Friendly Design: Ensure an intuitive and visually appealing user interface that prioritizes ease of navigation, accessibility, and responsiveness across different devices and platforms. Employ modern design principles and user experience best practices to enhance usability. β’ Continual Improvement: Commit to ongoing updates, content expansion, and user feedback integration to ensure the website remains relevant, informative, and engaging over time. Regularly assess metrics such as user engagement, site traffic, and feedback to inform future enhancements and optimizations. By striving to achieve these goals and objectives, we aim to create a dynamic and valuable online resource that empowers individuals to explore, appreciate, and leverage the potential of bamboo in diverse contexts.
The following will be the measures that the developers will use to determine the project performance and outcomes: β’ Website Performance β The website's success relies on its compatibility across devices and browsers, fast page loading speed, and robust security measures. β’ User Satisfaction and Feedback β User feedback is one of the most effective ways to determine if your system is successful or not. It is because they are the ones that use it and if it is not user-friendly it can have a negative impact on the business. By adding these extra technical metrics to our monitoring, we can fully check the website's health, security, accessibility, and optimization, leading to a better user experience.
Before continuing into more detailed project planning, it is essential to establish a preliminary list of assumptions to guide the proposed project's development. β’ User Interest β We can assume that there is enough audience that is interested in bamboo. β’ Content Availability - Content Availability is necessary as we are developing a virtual library for bamboo. β’ Technical Infrastructure β Web hosting services and development tools are available for the developers. β’ Stakeholder Engagement β Stakeholders and Developers are expected to have an active engagement throughout the project's timeline. β’ Timeline β the project should be finished in the set time. These expectations will guide us as we develop and improve the project along the way.
As we start planning the project, it is important to know the potential limitations of the project.
β’ Budget Limitations β We should consider the budget limitation of the project as it can hinder the progress of it. β’ Time Constraints β The developers should also consider the time of the project. β’ Risk Factors β The possibility of risks can hinder project progress, so having a plan to address them is crucial for project success.

Bamboo Warriors PH aims to promote knowledge and information about the bamboo in the Philippines, raise awareness about its ecological importance, and support communities interested in bamboo-related activities. The organization's strategic plan is the following. β’ Virtual Library β This library will hold all the information about bamboo like latest news, photo, videos, or infographics. β’ Education and Awareness about bamboo β The organization aims to educate the public about the importance of bamboo and its usefulness. They aim to provide knowledge about bamboo like its history, benefits, and uses. β’ Community Engagement β They aim to have a website where users who are interested in learning more about bamboo can interact with each other whether they are just asking for advice or posting their opinions. The website that the developers will create directly supports the project strategy set by the stakeholders. Below is the following on how the website will support their strategy. β’ Virtual Library β The developers will create a website where admins can create and add different content about the bamboo. The website will also show this content to the users who are interested in learning more about it. β’ Education and Awareness about bamboo β The informative website will be an online repository where anyone can learn about bamboo. β’ Community Engagement β The website will have a forum page where users can talk and interact with each other.
Cost-Benefit analysis will help the stakeholders to decide if the project is worth it or not. It will compare the cost of the project and its benefits.
Cost β’ Website Hosting β To be able to have a virtual library online it will need to be hosted online, this will cost around P10,000 a month. β’ Hardware requirements β Hardware requirements are needed for the admin to efficiently maintain and monitor the website although it is accessible to different devices it is much better if the admin has a laptop or personal computer. An average laptop today costs around P45,000. β’ Labor Cost β The labor costs are one of the most expensive one as they will build a website with unique features in it. A labor cost would be around P75,000 β P150,000. β’ Maintenance cost β The maintenance cost covers the improvements to the website, updates, etc. The maintenance cost will be around P50,000. Benefits β’ Educational Awareness β One of the most important benefits of this website is it will increase awareness of the importance of bamboo. The online resources would also reach a wider audience who can visit and learn on the website. β’ Sustainability Effectiveness β Increasing the awareness of the different uses of bamboo can increase sustainability of our communities.
1. Build a physical bamboo library β’ Instead of developing a virtual bamboo library the organization can invest in constructing a physical bamboo library.
Reason for not selecting. β’ The cost of it would be much greater than building a virtual library. The public reach would also be lessened.
2. Using Third Party systems β’ Instead of developing a new system the organization can just rent third party systems that have already been built.
Reason for not selecting. β’ Renting a third-party system can cost much more than creating their own system. It could also lessen the organization's control of the features they want to have or add to the system.

Cost performance will be assessed by our Quality Assurance Aaron Suarez and will be emailed and reported to the Bamboo Warriors.
The teamβs approach to the cost management of the Bamboo Warriors Virtual Library was based on the given requirements asked by our client. Our client listed down several requirements as follows: Accessibility on all devices; Subscriber only Content; Free Content Library; Payment Gateway; Community Portal; CRUD Interface; and a virtual Library. The cost management will be based on the said work packages. It will still be subject to revision to be approved by both parties for better outcomes.
Performance of the project will be measured using Earned Value Management. The following four Earned Value metrics will be used to measure to projects cost performance: β’ Schedule Variance (SV) β’ Cost Variance (CV) β’ Schedule Performance Index (SPI) β’ Cost Performance Index (CPI) If the Schedule Performance Index or Cost Performance Index has a variance of between 0.1 and 0.2 the Project Manager must report the reason for the exception. If the SPI or CPI has a variance of greater than 0.2 the Project Manager must report the reason for the exception and provide management a detailed corrective plan to bring the projects performance back to acceptable levels. Performance Measure Yellow Red Schedule Performance Index (SPI) Between 0.9 and 0.8 or Between 1.1 and 1.2 Less Than 0.8 or Greater than 1.2 Cost Performance Index (CPI) Between 0.9 and 0.8 or Between 1.1 and 1.2 Less Than 0.8 or Greater than 1.2
Reporting on cost management will be included in the monthly project status report. The Monthly Project Status Report will include a section labeled, βCost Managementβ. This section will contain the Earned Value Metrics identified in the previous section. All cost variances outside the thresholds identified in this Cost Management Plan will be reported on including any corrective actions planned. Change Requests which are triggered based upon project cost overruns will be identified and tracked in this report.
If the project reaches one of these Control Thresholds a Cost Variance Corrective Action Plan is required. The Project Manager will present the Project Sponsor with options for corrective actions within five business days from when the cost variance is first reported. Within three business days from when the Project Sponsor selects a corrective action option, the Project Manager will present the Project Sponsor with a formal Cost Variance Corrective Action Plan. The Cost Variance Corrective Action Plan will detail the actions necessary to bring the project back within budget and how the effectiveness of the actions in the plan will be measured. Upon acceptance of the Cost Variance Corrective Action Plan, it will become part of the project plan and be updated to reflect the corrective actions.
The cost change control process will follow the established project change request process. Approvals for project budget/cost changes must be approved by the project sponsor.
The budget for this project is detailed below for 6 months. Material costs is already accounted for since the team will be using their own devices. Cloud Hosting Cost β±12,000.00 Labor Cost β±1,617,600.00 Work Packages β±16,100.00 Contingency β±150,000.00 Total Project Cost β±1,795,700.00
The Schedule Management Plan for the Bamboo Virtual Library project outlines the processes and procedures necessary to ensure the project schedule is accurately defined, managed, and controlled. This plan highlights the importance of effective schedule management in delivering the project on time. Each item described here will be further detailed in the subsequent sections of the plan.
The Schedule Management Approach provides a structured framework for developing the project schedule. Key elements of this approach include:
