1. What is a project charter?
A project charter is a form used in the initiation and planning of a project. The
document represents one of the most important forms necessary during the project
lifecycle. The project charter requires proper and careful development to ensure the
successful execution of the project. On the other hand, the poor development of the
charter results in numerous bottlenecks and hitches in the project execution.
Additionally, poor charter results in delays in the project execution and increase in the
costs. Therefore, the project team should ensure that the charter has all the details and
avoid any forms of shortcuts and omissions. The charter consists of three basic
components including the overview section, the approach section and the approval
section. The projects vary in using the components since some projects can use all
three while some select a few.

The project organisation refers to a group of specialists and workers picked
from various departments to work on the project. The specialists have different
functionalities within the organizational structure to ensure the successful execution
of the project. Additionally, the project manager may opt to choose experts from
outside the organization to have an input of new ideas to the activities. The team
functions under the management and control of the project team who guides the

members in the execution of activities. Additionally, the project leader assists in
making final decisions on conflicting issues and keeping the team focused towards
achieving the set objectives. However, after the completion of the project, the team is
disbanded and the members go back to perform the routine duties. The project
organisation has various permanent activities to fulfil within the firm.

The project management plan has five phases beginning with the project
initiation, which includes beginning the project with a business case. The business
case gives details about the feasibility report. Therefore, proper feasibility test should
take place in this stage to avoid investing in poor projects. Moreover, the next stage
includes planning, which refers to developing a roadmap for the team to follow. The
stage involves setting goals to achieve in project execution. The third stage involves
the execution of the project where the deliverables are accomplished. Many events
happen during the execution phase such as meetings, development updates and
performance reports. Finally, performance monitoring measures the progression and
performance to ensure that the activities adhere to the project plan. The project team
uses key performance indicators to check whether the deliverables meet the set
objectives.

Question 11
List and outline the project change management process
The change management plan requires specific dates for each step and the identification
of the persons responsible for the activities. The project management change process follows
the following steps.
i. Description of the change, which specifies the changes in deliverables after the
process.
ii. The reason why the project plan should change including the problems that order
request changes.
iii. The impact of the change on the scope of the project. The project plan consists of
a pyramid of deliverables and changes to the lower levels affect the upper-level
objectives.
iv. The resources and the work affected by the change request. The team should
check the additional work and resources to inject because of the changes.
v. The estimation of the costs incurred during the change process.
vi. The effect of the changes on the duration and schedule of the project. The effects
include an extension in the critical path of the project.
vii. Reviewing whether the identified changes have an effect on the existing risk or
pose new risks to the project.
viii. An assessment of whether the changes affect the quality standards of the project.
The team should check whether the changes affect any specifications set for the
business.
