MNG00785 - Project Management Assessment 1

Assessment One: Project Charter 15%, 1,500 Words, Due Week 3

You are required to explain the theory behind a Project Charter, and to develop a Project Charter based on the scenario below. The Charter must include all the elements in Sections 3-4 to 3-5, pages 35-79 of the textbook. You must draw heavily on the theory contained in the textbook and the PMBoK. You are expected to include all the relevant Charter sections shown in the textbook, and model your tables on the relevant textbook exhibits.
There are two parts to your Charter:
1. The first section will discuss the theory behind each element of the Charter. Using appropriately cited paraphrasing, you are expected to draw on the textbook description for each section. Please note that because there is such an emphasis on the textbook, all in-text citations MUST include the page numbers.
2. The second section of the assessment is your actual project charter. The charter MUST be assembled based on the example charter shown in pages 94-96 of the textbook.
