As we are exploring the different facets of project communications during our class, we will highlight several key documents that every Project Manager should understand and have in his/her repository of templates. Building yourself a portfolio of these key documents will assist you in faster completion of project activities and will, for you as students, help with other assignments throughout the program. The intent is that at the end of this assignment you will have researched, discovered, reviewed and compiled a project management documentation portfolio which will be worth 25% of your mark for this class.

Provide for each of the Documents Below:

an introduction with a one-page explanation as to their relevance and use in the context of project management linked to what you have learned from your classes during the semester, the PMBOK Guide or any other relevant source (references for explanations to be documented as well and not simply copied).

a Template for this document (including relevant source/references)

Documents to be included in your portfolio include:

Assumptions and Constraints Log

Communications Management Plan

Group Norm / Team Charter template

Issue and Action Logs

Kick-off Meeting checklist (1) and agenda (1)
