3STRATEGIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT1.0 IntroductionThis project has been authorized in order to design and build a new computer science labin ABC University. The university provides courses for various streams of engineering and withthe increase in the number of students in the university, construction of a new computer sciencelab has become the primary need to increase the quality of education for the computer scienceand information technology engineering students. There are only two computer science labs inthe university building that are currently being used by 8 different departments of engineering.As a result, overlaps of practical sessions of different departments occur frequently. Furthermore,the computer science and IT students get much lesser time in the labs than they should have dueto this overlapping of practical sessions. Hence, the university authority has decided to build anew computer science lab for the computer science and IT departments so that the other two labscan be used by the other departments without having to worry about overlap of sessions.This project has specifically been designed to plan, design and construct the newcomputer science lab. According to the requirements of the project, a contractor will be hiredfrom a tender who will be responsible for executing the entire project according to the plan. Inthis project charter, a detailed project has been developed that includes project scope, stakeholderdetails, risks, schedule and work breakdown structure.2.0 Project Charter2.1 Background of the ProjectThe main background of the project is the development of a new computer science lab forthe university.
