Reference no: EM132445260

Select a project and submit it for approval:

It must be a project in which you have application knowledge
It must be a project in which you will be able to gather information about resource requirements and estimates
It must be a project that you are about to plan for, and that you have not started yet
It should be an IT or Project Management related project; however, projects from other areas are acceptable
It should be a project that you believe can be completed in two years or less
It should be a project in which the human resources will not exceed 25 stakeholders
Be sure that you project meets the four characteristics of a project.

Examples of possible projects include:

New hardware deployment
New Software Deployment
PMO Development
HelpDesk Development
Infrastructure Upgrade
SOX Compliance

Once you have made a decision, please submit your idea to have it approved by the instructor prior to starting your charter. You may use any format to present your idea (MS Office products - Word, Excel, Powerpoint.) A simple Excel template is given. Give an overview of your proposed project and why you feel it will make a good example for a project that you can build throughout the semester. Include a PDF of your proposal.

As you select and consider your project for the semester please think of some of concepts we discussed in Unit 1 and how it might shape / affect how your project runs:

Are you taking the traditional view of Time, Cost, Scope as your limiting triangle, or a more complex view with Image, Value and image/ reputation (Goodwill)?
What is the basic organizational structure of the organization? Are you silo-ed or Project-driven? Does decision making authority reside in the PM (usually only in Projectized or Strong Matrix) or in other managers?
What is the basic methodology and lifecycle approach?
These factors (and many more) will guide the narrative of your project, for good or ill, depending on how you address, or ignore, them.
