ICT508: Assignment 1 - Project Charter EduStream
HOW TO USE THIS TEMPLATE
An Introductory Point
This template is not designed to provide a full Project Charter (PC). It only includes sections
that will be pertinent to the assignment. If you want to see what a full Project Charter looks
like, you can generally find free copies of templates on the internet. Most major
organisations also have their own standards for these, so you would typically use theirs when
you need to develop one for that company.
Whichever template you use, the PC will typically be created during the
Pre-Initiation/Initiation phase for the project. The intended audience is normally senior
management (e.g. the Board (as applicable), Chief Executive Officer (CEO), etc.), the Project
Sponsor, and stakeholders whose support will be required to complete the project tasks. In
other words, the PC should aim to explain to these types of stakeholders what the project will
be about, so it facilitates decision making.
Using this Template
Firstly, after downloading this template from the LMS, make a copy on your computer
using the naming convention discussed in the Assignment 1 Information Sheet
instructions.
This template provides some of the standard types of information that you can expect to find
in a PC. Therefore, text that is provided in black Times New Roman font, will remain in
your final version. You will then need to add the information that is required for each section
of the PC. These requirements are defined using blue font text shown in square brackets (e.g.
[these are the instructions for the information that you need to include]). Read these
instructions carefully, before you do your drafting, as this material provides important hints
and guidelines.
When drafting your responses for each section, the key is clarity. Therefore, think clearly
about the real-world issues when assessing each element of this template. Consequently, you
do not need to provide long detailed prose. Clear, well-thought-out, easy-to-read sentences
are required, and short dot-point sentences are appropriate in many situations.
Once you have drafted the required content, you should remove the [blue font instructions] so
your draft would then be ready to be forwarded to the Project Sponsor and then the Board for
final approval (as simulated by uploading this completed document into the LMS).
Additionally, you should remove the information on this page, so your response just starts
with the material on the following page.
In practical terms, once you have completed this PC (by taking the preceding steps) and the
other required documents, these should be uploaded to the LMS in accordance with the
Assignment 1 Information Sheet instructions.
Apart from the changes discussed in the preceding elements on this page, you must not
change this template. This reflects real-world imperatives. Companies generally want
you to conform with the templates that they provide. Therefore, get used to utilising

2 Business Analysis
2.1 Reason for the Project and General Approach
The paper mainly reflects on EdMI that is a small to medium enterprise that enages in
deploying different types of educational videos as well as games on DVD/Blue Ray.
Howeber, from past few years, it is found that the market share of the organization is
decreasing and it has decreased from 40% to 27%,. Though EdMI has proper control on the
primary rights to around 60% but it not helping in improving the market share. The erosion of
the shares generally occurs as the clients wants to access the education content more flexibly.
