Project Management Project Charter

For this assignment, you will choose a project and create a project charter. The project you choose may be a real-life work example, a personal example, or a proposed project. You will work with this same project in the Final Project Paper with MS Project Assignment*. If you would like to discuss potential project ideas, don't hesitate to contact me.

Your submission should include a title page with your name, date, course name, course reference number, professor name, and project title.

Your project charter should include all of the charter elements shown in Exhibit 3.3 on page 65 of the textbook (The "success criteria" and "lessons learned" elements may be excluded at this time.)

See Exhibit 3.5 on page 71 for an example of the scope overview and business case. These are good examples except that I want you to include quantitative data in your charter. The business case should also include the financial basis for doing the project.

See Exhibit 3.6 on page 72 for an example of the background. Remember that this is the background of the project and not the background of a company you are using in the project.

See Exhibit 3.7 on page 73 for an example milestone schedule.

See Exhibit 3.10 on page 76 for an example risk response plan. Your risk response plan should include both preventive and mitigating responses.

See Exhibit 3.11 on page 76 for an example resource section.

See Exhibit 3.12 on page 77 for an example stakeholder list.

See Exhibit 3.13 on page 77 for an example of team operating principles.

See Exhibit 3.15 on page 78 for an example signatures and commitment section.

Project management is an iterative process and things will change as a project moves forward, but be as detailed and specific as you can at this point.
