During the Project Initiation phase, an important artefact is the Project Charter. This artefact clearly indicates for the project team and all stakeholders the project objectives, scope and vision. In this assignment, you are provided with a case study project description below. You will create a Project Charter for this project that will be managed following the adaptive methodology of Agile Scrum. In a project managed using traditional project management methodologies, the Charter would be a document of just a few pages (around 4) formally outlining the key objectives, schedule and stakeholders. In an Agile project, this artefact would be displayed in the project team room. Background After top management determines which projects to pursue, then it becomes important to notify the organisation about the projects. The Project Charter is used to authorise the project and nominate the project manager. The Project Charter formally recognises the project and provides a summary of the details of the project.

While preparing the Project Charter report, you need to express clearly the vision (why do this project), the mission (what is to be done), and the success criteria for this project. You will also need to: ? Identify other stakeholders, in consultation with the sponsor; ? Predict high level costs involved in the project; ? Hire a team for the duration of the project; and ?
