You plan to include an overview of project management, a step-by-step description of project planning, and an explanation of key terms.

Joseph Green (president) agreed, and he wants you develop a project scope statement, project charter, communication plan, team contract, Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), and a Gantt chart that will describe project management concepts and benefits.

1- Project scope statement
"The actual document is important to avoid any unpredicted and unpleasant occurrences, which can happen while the project is in implementation. The scope is an important statement for the project participants and for the major stakeholders."
2- Project charter
"A report of the whole scope, all the objectives, and the members who are involved in the project. It serves as an opening definition of the duties and responsibilities of the participants and a summary of the objectives of the project. It is meant to be a document of agreement between the major stakeholders, the sponsor of the project and the whole team."
