You are sitting at your desk thinking back about your presentation from last week on Principles, Standards, and Methods of IT Project Management. You are thinking about how the conversation went about how to initiate a new project. You could have done better. You have not heard anything from the bosses, and you wonder what they are thinking. Lost in thought, it takes a moment to realize that your name is being called. You look up and see the head of product development standing in the doorway to your office. Sorry, I was just thinking about my presentation last week. How can I help you? She responds, I am glad you were thinking about that. I want to kick off the development of the Online Custom Parts Ordering System (e-CPOS), and as you are new with some really good ideas, I want you to take on the role of the Project Manager (PM). This will allow you to show the other project managers how they should be doing things. She walks you through the e-CPOS business case document and mentions that this project is critical to the companys existence and that the acceptance of the system by the sales department and customers will be crucial for its success. After the walkthrough, she hands you a copy of the business case document to get the project set up. And with that, she is gone. You look down at the e-CPOS business case document, sigh, and wonder where to begin.
You will prepare a charter based on the business case. The project charter template and business case have been provided in the resources for these week. Your charter should contain the following elements:
- Project Purpose
