Charter Q uestions Q: If Isubmit my assignments early can you give me feedback on the Project Charter so I can go back and change things and send it back to you? A: I will not provide feedback on any assignments prior to the due date. After you receive your grade you will get one opportunity to go back and make changes to improve your score. Q: Do you have a specific start date in mind for the project? A. As a boss my answer would usually be as soon as possible. Your job as the project manager would be to think through how long wi it take to get approval for the project, then to start, and making assumptions about the complexity of the project and how many resources you will get, how long will it take to complete. Q: Is there a specific budget set aside for the project? A: Again my experience says that you would estimate it in the charter, and then we would look to go get the funding. So you set the budget then we will try get that amount approved. Usually I have been pressured to lower the cost estimate while delivering the same amount of functionality. So no -lam looking for you to estimate. Q: Who is the sponsor for this project? The document you provided for the project lists: CEO, controller consulting lead as stakeholder A: The controller is the primary stakeholder in my opinion, but you may want to recommend someone different. Q: Also the document lists: Number of resources. two types: senior and junior. What is this referring to A: This just means that when you cost out a project you need to consider the cost of a resource. A resource with grad degree, 10 years of experience and extensive development skills is going to cost you more than your junior analyst with an associates degree and 3 months of professional experience. Think about the type of resources you will need to be successful while keeping costs as low as possible. Q: Will there be any staff that can be hired or current staff that can be pulled to assist on this project? A: Absolutely, but it is your job to do your best to think about who these people will be.
