This week’s assignment requires you to create a project charter as part of your Course Project. The Course Project can be any project that you choose to plan for this course. It does not have to be a “real” project that you are going to conduct, but can be anything relevant to your professional experience that meets the assignment criteria throughout the remainder of the course. Review the remaining course assignments to ensure you have selected a project of sufficient scope for the assignments.
Refer to the attached assignment documents for assignment details, optional templates, and the grading rubric.
Instructions:
Create a project charter:
- Provide a written project description outlining what you are trying to accomplish.
- Include the information recommended by the course required readings.
- See the attached templates for additional details. You do not have to use these
exact templates. Add or remove sections based on the nature of your project.
Remember this is a high-level document to initiate your project. Specifics of project activities will be provided later.
Requirements:
• Submit a Word or Excel document.
Be sure to read the criteria by which your work will be evaluated before you write and again after you write.
