PROJECT

PLAN

CHARTER:

A Charter is central document that defines the fundamental information about a

project and is used to authorize it. In other words charter provides a picture of where
you are going, why you are going there, who will be impacted, the main risks
involved and who is going to help you. It’s crucial that the charter not only establishes
basic information, but it also reflects the key Stakeholders common vision.

 Have a comprehensive knowledge of the subject area or discipline

 Understanding how the subject area may intersect with related disciplines
 Utilizing and applying knowledge with good judgement
 Communicate clearly, substantively, and persuasively
 Be able to locate and use information effectively, ethically and legally
 Share the knowledge and exercise leadership

STAKEHOLDER’S ANALYSIS:

A Stakeholder is anyone who has a vested interest in a project outcome. Identifying a

stakeholder is a crucial task because the important decisions during many stages of a
project are made by these stakeholders. Understanding who the stakeholders of your
project is very important.

 Project sponsor: In this case the project is managed by our group so we are
responsible for performing the tasks and also to oversee the project completion
 Internal: These stakeholders include the professors, the management team and
other human resources needed to create the project
 External: Some of these stakeholders are extremely removed from the actual
project

SCOPE:

It is a document consisting of a scope statement which is integral to any kind of

project plan. This document will be used as the basis for project decisions down the
line. For a project plan for the course the scope may include following things like
when a project will start and finish, what are some of the assignments that are
assigned and what is their completion date and also what are the tests that should be
completed.

WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE:

The buildings blocks for any project start with a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
This WBS is a reflection of all the work in the project in terms of deliverables. In
order to produce these deliverables work must be performed. The WBS provides the
foundation for all project management work, including planning, cost and effort,
resource allocation and scheduling

Creating a WBS:
 It helps us to define the total scope of work
 Provides the ability to assign work to people responsible for carrying out the
work
 Establishes control on project
 We can measure accomplishments when the work is done
 It provides the relationship between work, organization and cost.
