Project Charter Details
Hypothetical Scenario: The non-profit organization One World, One Community, a non-profit promoting the introduction of lessor known cultural festivals and holiday celebrations throughout the United States, has selected the University of the Cumberlands to provide project management services to plan some of its events for the years 2023/2024. The University has approached your group to identify and potentially project manage one of these events. Your group, if selected, will be provided an initial seed grant of $25,000 to plan the event. However, you will be expected to raise enough funding to put on the event through donations, sponsorships and other fund-raising methods which must be identified within the project charter primarily within the Detailed Budget. All anticipated cost and revenues must be balanced. Your professional project charter will determine whether your project group is selected to continue with this project.
Project baseline considerations:
I. What is the cultural event you have selected and where will it be held? City and specific site(s).
1. Why this city?
2. Why this specific venue site?
3. How long will it last?
4. Indoors, outdoors, or both?
5. Single site or multiple sites?
6. What form will the event take?
II. Will there be multiple events associated?
The purpose of these events is to introduce residents to a cultural event that may not be familiar to them.
Establish a budget to demonstrate all potential costs have been considered and are included. This should include revenue streams and all potential expenses.
Source costs from websites or other Internet resources. If no specific costs can be identified, then use local tourism or convention bureau websites to get rough estimates. This process needs to be detailed in the budget justification narrative.
A list of the major deliverables from the project are thoroughly described.
Specific reviews: The Project Charter will be reviewed by the project team and approved.
Follow SMART protocol throughout (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time- bound).
