The project will consist of the Huntsville plant construction effort, the details of which are in the "project tabs" in the course shell for each week's assignment This course project assignment follows the Huntsville project from a Project Charter (where the effort is initially approved), through the Project Scope Statement (where the scope is elaborated in more detail), through the WBS (where the major tasks and sub-tasks are documented), and finally to a completed project schedule in Microsoft Project, with resources and costs added in. Along the way we also complete a Risk Plan and a Communications Plan for the Huntsville project, and deal with scheduling and resource issues, all normal and customary actives in most project environments. However all a bit mysterious to the uninitiated! So I'm going to try and walk you through all of that with these Part-1 through Part-5 instruction documents. Please do listen to the Course Project Tour Video (in the Course Home/Course Project tab). It lays out in summary all the deliverables for the Course Project. Since the effort is worth 25% of your grade, you really need to understand what we are asking for and when all the pieces are due! As you complete this course project effort, remember; think of this as a set of business communications as well as a class assignment. In part this...

...Siddharth Mandwal ID- 1001704 Date Submitted - 10/26/2015 PROJECT CHARTER AND ITS STRUCTURE INTRODUCTION Projects have been a part of the human life for hundreds of years. They can exist for a significant amount of time, can cost a lot of money and may involve people from all departments and offices under an organization. When projects can be very complicated, small mismanagement practises might cost a lot of time and money. This requires that projects are properly managed right from the starting or even before starting the project. This requirement calls for the creation of a project charter. Although the project charter is a very important deliverable at initialization of the project, it can be defined basically as a document which officially starts or authorizes a project. It acts as a reference for the future. Any charter should roughly define the business case, scope, objectives, stakeholders and risk and responsibilities. With project management practices getting more organized and more defined, the importance of the project is now well known but, there seem to be some disputes over the structure of a project charter, when it should be created and who should be creating the project charter. This paper aims at finding these answers with the help of information available. Various proposals given by different experts are considered and each proposal is analyzed to determine what would a perfect project charter look like and when it should be created and by whom. This...

...PMO? Based on your assigned readings and research do these appear to be appropriate reasons for developing a PMO? Why or why not? 2. What are the changes that will be necessary in order for AtekPC to effectively implement a PMO? Consider among other factors the program management performance domains from your Week 1 readings found in Chapter 2 of The Program Management Standard which include: (1) Program Life Cycle Management; (2) Program Benefits Management; (3) Program Stakeholder Engagement; (4) Program Governance; and, (5) Program Strategy Alignment. 3. It is clear that AtekPC never really had a Charter to guide them in developing its PMO. Draft a Program Charter for AtekPC (no longer than 3 pages) that incorporates the basic elements of a program charter discussed in your lecture materials for Week 2. Remember, the Charter is a high level document so it does not require the detail of your project scope and specifications and other project documents. Please note that there are important differences between project charters that focus on the iron triangle (scope, cost, schedule) and program charters that focus on the Program Management Domains and Program Benefit Delivery. The Project Management Office was introduced to AtekPC because of the continuous changes and stresses that were on the personal computer industry. The industry was in transition with falling profit margins. “The PC Industry was experiencing tremendous cost pressure and was undergoing a period of...

...Williamson created in order to better manage their projects and prevent financial loss. D.D. Williamson decided to create this process after they realized that some “critical” projects were not being completed in a timely fashion. In this paper you will also see different sceneries that D.D. Williamson’s new process may not work as well as some additional suggestions to improve their current process. Prioritizing Process of D.D. Williamson The main point of this case study was to review the process that D.D. Williamson created in order to better prioritize their projects so that all projects could be more manageable. According to our text (Kloppenborg, T., Nkomo, S. (2012). Human resource project management. (2nded.) Mason, OH: South-Western Cengage Learning (pg 48) that the reason the first trial of the project didn’t work was because they still had to many projects and “critical” projects were not being completed and were over budget. This caused them to have to re-evaluate the current process and create yet another process. One of the ways that I would have critiqued this project would have been suggesting that everyone review a few different charter templates. They could have used one from a website like Projectmanager.com or they could have used a software like Swiftlight. I think had they used one of these resources they would have had a better idea of what was needed to have a success project and be able to prioritize. D.D. Williamson did...

...Phase 2 DB 1 MPM210-1404A-06 Project Management Overview Oct 15, 2014 Dr. G. Whenever something has to be accomplished or a project started, most people start thinking before they begin the project with an idea of how they are going to accomplish it. This can vary from the easiest ways to do it to the more complicated ways to how much it is going to cost. Whoever is paying for the endeavor is usually the one that comes up with the idea of what is to be done and a little about how it is going to be accomplished. In the project management world; this person would be called the sponsor and the person accomplishing the actual project details or making it happen would be the project manager. Here I will look at what is detailed in the project charter from the sponsor and the scope statement for the project manager. The project charter is very important because it details certain things for the project manager. The first thing it does is that it formally authorizes the work to be accomplished and gives the project his or her authority to do their job. The project charter will also describe the business need for the project and its expectations or results needed. This charter is usually written outside of the project manager team who can make sure the needs of the project are available for the project manager. Along with the charter, it may also include key assumptions or constraints that could affect the project schedule, budget or quality. It may also contain target...
