Week 3 Assignment: Project Scope and Charter
Guideline and Rubric
PURPOSE
This assignment is designed to help students lay the groundwork for their project plan with the help of mentors and professors. The mentor becomes a team member for the project that the student will manage. The student will identify the stakeholders, project priority, how the measurable goals will be met for a successful project, and who will receive the report of the results of the project. The scope document describes the parameters of the project, including what can and cannot be accomplished and the measurable objectives and outcome measures. The project charter describes and defines the project. When the sponsor signs off on the project, it becomes the document that authorizes the project.
In Week 3, you will complete a simple project scope and charter using information about your project. You will complete the documents or statements by filling in the requested information about your project. The project scope has an approval section, but this is not an official approval required by your organization (unless your organization requires such approval). The approval section may list you as the project manager and your mentor as the sponsor, or it may contain actual PM and sponsor information if appropriate.
