Question: The purpose of this Indivdual assignment is to develop a project charter based on the Case Study. The charter is the initial document that ensures everyone has a common understanding of the project and authorizes the project to proceed. Details of the project will be developed later.
Details of the Project Charter assignment
Read "Mamma's Bakery and Sandwich Shoppe Case Study" (Course Resources).
Determine the initial project management roles of each team member (assume a team size of 6-8) on the IT project team for planning, designing, and installing the IT system.
Some team roles might include:
Project Manager
Functional or technical managers, such as telecommunications, application software designer,
database developer, Web page designer, etc.
Budget/Finance
Project Management Support such as procurement or human resources
Use the textbook and other academically credible sources, as a minimum, to define an IT System and then to determine the proposed scope for this project. For example, including a scheduling software package may be within the scope. Providing a learning application for new employees might be not be within the scope of this IT project.
Use the Case Study to be clear on the basic requirements for this project. What will the IT project team provide if the proposed plan is accepted? You may email the client/stakeholder (your instructor) to further define requirements, if you do not have enough information.
As in many real-world projects, the requirements are the weakest part of the project. The lack of detail is deliberate to encourage identify what might be missing and then work with the client/customer to fill in the blanks. Does it seem as though perhaps there is not enough information to complete the project and the charter? If so, please ask the customer (your instructor).
Now prepare a Project Charter for your project. This document becomes the basic agreement to describe the project with enough detail that the approximate scope and magnitude is clear and understandable by both the team and the client/customer or executive sponsor.
