Project Management a Comprehensive Project Charter

A Final Project Charter, based on your Problem Set exercises, will be due by the end of Week 7. This will require amending and improving your Problem Sets based on Instructor feedback and then compiling the required tools into a professional document. As a professional document this should be your own work and wording based on your selected project. There should not be any reason for citing of sources. Also, any cover or title page should be a professional cover/title page and not an academic title page. To allow sufficient time to complete the necessary corrections or amendments based on instructor feedback the instructions for this assignment have been provided within the attached document. This assignment will be worth 200 points.

BADM 634 – Initiating the Project

Final Project Charter

Compile/Develop a complete Project Charter utilizing components from Problem Sets #2-6 that you will have completed throughout the semester based on your selected project, as well as including a few other project charter components.

Your individual Final Project Charter will include:

1) Project Title – You will provide the title you best think fits the project. This should be descriptive of your project. Some project charter titles could be full sentences.

2) Background – provide a narrative explanation of the need for this project, how it came to be considered, and general overview of the project

3) Business Case – provide your working business case

4) Stakeholder Register – Use Exhibit 6.4 and Instructions/Instructor Feedback from Problem Set

5) Communication Matrix – Use Exhibit 6.9 and Instructions/Instructor Feedback from Problem Set

6) Project Scope Statement – a specific identification of what will be completed with this project. This will focus on scope requirements and narrow the business case to provide more specific scope information (combined with #7 Deliverables and Acceptance3 Criteria per Exhibit 7.12)

7) Deliverables with Acceptance Criteria – Use Exhibit 7.4 and Instructions/Instructor Feedback from Problem Set

8) WBS with Activities List – Use Exhibit 7.12 and Instructions/Instructor Feedback from Problem Set

9) RACI Chart – Use Exhibit 9.5 and Instructions/Instructor Feedback from Problem Set

10) Risk Register – Use Exhibit 11.9 and Instructions/Instructor Feedback from Problem Set

11) Create a Glossary that defines the following concepts (or terms) as well as any and all other terms that may need to be explained or defined within the Project Charter. This is a professional document so citing is not necessary, but you must utilize your own words to define/describe the concepts or terms. This section should look like a dictionary with terms defined and alphabetized.

· title

· scope

· business case

· background

· project vision,

· enterprise environmental factors,

· organizational process assets,

· objectives,

· stakeholder list,

· team operating principals,

· milestones,

· communication plan

· project risk planning,

· assumptions,

· constraints

· organization and implementation plan.

· Any and all terms that may need to be defined that appear in the Project Charter

12) Create a professional signature page for your six (6) key and internal stakeholders to sign

Overall Form & Function of Charter – This will be a graded section that will review the overall look, usability, and professionalism of the project charter as well as the inclusion of any other elements deemed necessary to be included to ensure a superior project charter. This is not a section that needs to be completed but will be a grading aspect of the overall project charter as submitted.

Make corrections to your Problem Sets as provided in grading feedback from the instructor. Do not include components of Problem Sets that are not project charter related (essays, etc.). This should be completed as the semester continues and not left until the last week of the semester. Ensure all inserted charts are legible. Covert pages with charts from portrait layout to landscape layout.

You will design this as an official document to be submitted to the Project Sponsor;  so, ensure that it looks professional. You may add any additional sections, besides those listed, that you think would be beneficial to your overall product and are relevant to the project.

This assignment will be worth 180 points and is a continuation of the work we completed throughout the term.
