In this assignment, start the process of building your own dream home (this is a theme that we will carry on throughout this course) - why a dream home? A dream home is a concept that we can all relate to and it has all of the elements of a project according to the PMBOK Guide: 'A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result'.

1. Project Background: In this section you can provide relevant project-related information that would have been previously published. You can'makeup' examples of information that might have been published in the project business case.
2. Project Purpose (Goal): Provide a short, concise (one or two sentences) statement as to what the project's purpose and goal are.
3. Project Objectives:State two examples of objectives for your project.
4. Project Scope and Project Exclusions (Out-Of-Scope Work):
   • Briefly describe what is 'in-scope' for the project.
   • Identify three examples of work that is important to the success of this project, but will not be completed as part of this project. Identify how the work will be done.
5. High-Level Assumptions: Provide 3 examples of high-level project assumptions that would impact the project planning.
6. High-Level Constraints: Provide examples of 3 external constraints that would restrict the project's planning options. Also provide a very brief description of their impact. (Note: The project's budget and schedule would be considered internal constraints or managerial objectives and cannot be used in this section.)
7. Requirements are "conditions that are required to be present in a product, service, or result to satisfy a contract". In this section you are to provide examples of requirements that describe your house from a high level (as a project sponsor might describe them). Essentially, give examples of how a customer might describe what features, style, functionality or elements they would like to have as part of their dream house (keep in mind your project scope, and restrict your requirements to only those that are relevant to the project's scope).
8. Deliverables: List five examples of deliverables that would result as part of fulfilling the project's stated requirements (see previous section).
9. Project Milestones: Using the following milestonetable format, list three examples of milestones that would be appropriate for a project of this nature.

Milestone Name	Milestone Description	Milestone Date

Of most importance to the milestone section is your supporting description of why the milestone candidate should be considered a milestone for this project and what impact the proposed milestone will have on the overall project planning process.

1. Project Stakeholders: Identify three project stakeholders who would be appropriate for a project of this nature. Consider the following types of information when describing your stakeholders:
   • Identify stakeholders by their title or role (not by names).
   • How do they contribute to the project?
   • What are their needs and expectations for this project?

Key to the stakeholder section is to consider what information the project manager would need to know about these stakeholders to be able to proceed with the planning of this project. It is important that you only provide examples of stakeholder information that would be useful and beneficial in the project planning stage.

1. Project Manager Responsibilities and Authority Level: In this section, you need to define the following:
   • Identify who the project manager will be for this project;
   • What the main responsibilities of the project manager are; and
   • What authority has been assigned to the project manager to carry out their responsibilities?
2. Known Problems, Anticipated Issues, and Potential Risks: Identify an example of each term (the terms do not all mean the same thing).Ensure that you clearly indicate which of your examples you consider to be problems, issues or risks - you will be evaluated on your understanding of these terms.
3. Payment Schedule (or high-level summary budget):Develop a spending framework for the project that conveys the project sponsor's funding priorities. Keep in mind that this is a high-level payment schedule, which is not to the same as the detailed cost allocation found in the project plan budget.

Your summary budget should be in table format and should convey how much the project's sponsor is willing to pay per deliverable and/or milestone achieved.

1. Document Approval Section: I NEED an approval section for the overall document that shows that the main stakeholders agree to the charter. This section should contain an appropriate approval statement and corresponding signature blocks. In this section you need to not only demonstrate an appropriate approval statement, but also demonstrate your knowledge of who needs to approve the project charter.
2. Bibliography: Provide proper citation of all open-source resources that you have used in preparing your assignments. You will most likely need to do some research to complete this assignment - research is greatly encouraged, but drawing information directly from third-party material is not. You should minimize the use of third-party material, and if you need to use it, then it is important that you cite it within your work. At a minimum, any section that is found to contain uncited third-party material will receive a grade of zero. The College can impose additional sanctions, if deemed to be warranted.
