MGT3035 W1 Project

Using the South University Online Library, research any project of your choice. You may use the project you chose for the week 1 discussion as long as it meets the criteria listed below. The project you select must meet the following criteria: • It must fit the definition of a project as described in the PMBOK® Guide glossary and text. • It must be real or realistic. • It should be large enough for a dedicated organizational commitment (preferably a capital investment) but not too large for one organization to accomplish (minimal outsourcing). • It must fit into one of the "nonnumeric model" categories as described in the course textbook. • It must be subject to evaluation through numeric models as described in the course textbook. Based on your research and project selected, create a project charter as described in Section 4.1 of the PMBOK® Guide. The project charter should include the following: • An outline of the information indicated in Section 4.1. • All items indicated in the PMBOK® Guide for which at least some elemental information exists at this point. • Highlights on how the project you selected meets the selection criteria listed earlier. • A description of the major components of the strategic management process. • An explanation of the role projects play in the strategic management process. • How are projects linked to the strategic plan? • An explanation of the impact of classifying projects as either compliance, strategic, or operations projects. • An explanation as to why return on investment (ROI) should not be the sole metric used to choose projects. • A discussion of the pros and cons of the checklist versus the weighted factor method of selecting projects. Submission Details: • Provide your answers in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document, using APA style. • Support your responses with examples and research. • Name your document SU_MGT3035_W1_LastName_FirstInitial.doc. • Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned April 15, 2018 at 11:59 pm.
