4.5.2 Project Plan: Project Charter and Scope: Develop a project charter according and a project scope according to CH 4 of Project Management and given lecture presentations. The background information for the simulation will be used as the basis for both your charter and scope.

Use the project scope checklist as paragraph headings for that section; do not include "6. Reviews with customers". Include as part of the project scope a stakeholder analysis and a communications plan. The work breakdown structure (WBS) will be created in the CPM Pro Spreadsheet (MS Excel) and transferred to a table in the assignment.

For all planning, use the simulation Help Documentation, the Orientation Guide, and the Project (Alliance Prototype) Reference Guide. The MS Excel file will be turned in with the MS Word document. Format the paper (in MS Word) according to APA in terms of citations and references and use the project management "Code of Accounts" numbering system for the paragraphs (SLOs 2.2.1 - 2.2.8, 2.2.11 - 2.2.14).

Notes:

1. You are required to cite any paraphrases, facts/stats, or support for your opinions/assertions, providing appropriate references on the references page (No quotations).
2. You are required to use the Project Plan Template found in the Project Tools in the Canvas Classroom. You will begin using the template (do not change any of the paragraph headings as these show you what you are required to submit) with each project plan assignment. You will continuously submit and update the same template until you have completed your project plan at the end of the term. After a section has been graded, you will update/correct that section based on the instructor's grading comments, then you will work the next section, per the course schedule.
3. Ensure you follow the grading rubrics found in the course assignments.
