Question: As the project manager with D.O.W.S., a nonprofit non governmental organization (NGO) that helps people with water access and public health issues, and your managers have given you a new project to lead. The organization has decided to launch a marketing campaign that focuses on increasing clean water access for children living in urban poverty who have little control over the water they consume.

The mission of this campaign is to provide free tap filters for urban homes so all children can have unrestricted access to clean drinking water without the interference or issues that often come with government-issued supports. Although, a privately funded NGO, I will still have to work with government agencies, as many of the target recipients live in government-funded housing. There is a permit that must obtain from each public water supplier midway through this project, and it has been brought to the attention that these permits might be delayed due to governmental red tape. As the project manager, I will need to develop a project charter, schedule, risk and issue management report, communication plan, as well as status reports to ensure the project is completed on time, within budget, and to leadership satisfaction.

Instructions:
our organization is looking to provide free tap filters for children living in areas stricken by urban poverty. You will need to develop a complete project plan in order to move this project forward. Your plan will need to include the following:

Project charter
Project schedule
This project has been scheduled to last three months from concept to widespread delivery.
What is the timeline for key deliverables?
Risk management analysis
Identify some of the inherent risks associated with this project.
Identify some of the project-specific risks associated with this project.
Issue management analysis
Communication plan
Who needs to receive communication updates?
How often does each person or team who needs to be updated receive these updates?
How will each of these updates be communicated?
Status reports
Using a template of your own creation, or one that is available for free use, prepare a status report for every other week of the project (six reports in all).
Your status reports should include any information you determine you will need to communicate to the leadership team. You may wish to include some of the following in your status report:
Red, yellow, green status
Progress indicator (where you are in the project)
Issues, glitches, impediments
Active and resolved risks
Project Charter
Purpose of the Document
The project charter will serve as an internal document that captures high-level planning information (scope, deliverables, assumptions, etc.) about the project.

The project manager creates the project charter in the initiation phase of the project, in consultation with the business manager. Its purpose is to recognize the existence of the project and to begin the planning process required to accomplish the project goals. It is not intended to be a formal contract or legal document that is shared with the customer.

The project charter is an input to the definition phase of the project, where much of the information contained in the document forms the basis for detailed project planning.

1. PROJECT GOALS
[Describe the business need, opportunity, or problem that the project was undertaken to address-i.e., the project justification.]

2. [Provide a high-level list of what needs to be done in order to reach the goals of the project. Each deliverable should be sufficiently detailed so that the project team will understand what needs to be accomplished. Describe the deliverable using action words (verbs) such as deliver, provide, create, and research. Deliverables should be measurable so the project sponsor and team can determine whether the deliverable has been successfully completed at the project's conclusion.]

3. SCOPE DEFINITION
[In this section, document the scope of work to be delivered. "In scope" is what the project will include to meet the requirements of the project goals. "Out of scope" excludes responsibilities, activities, deliverables, or other areas that are not part of the project.]

The project will include:
[Insert text.]

The project will not include:
[Insert text.]

4. PROJECT MILESTONES
[Identify the significant project milestones.]
