Question: For Case 11.3 (Case 10.3 in 5th Edition) The Nelson Mandela Bridge Project (textbook page 394-395), prepare a Project Charter and Project Execution Plan (PEP).

For Case 11.3 (Case 10.3 in 5th Edition) The Nelson Mandela Bridge Project (textbook page 394-395), prepare a Project Charter and Project Execution Plan (PEP). Below are the instructions and required contents of the two documents.

I. For the project charter, refer to the slide Project charter in Lecture 3 Project Planning to determine the typical contents and format of project charter. For components with no information given, simply write down the component name and indicate that the information is not given or you can make up a reasonable value. (e.g., Project Sponsor: TBD where TBD means to be determined.)

II. For the PEP, refer to Figure 6.1 (Fig 5.1 in 5th Ed.) in the textbook as a general guideline and follow the instruction below. a. Part I of PEP should be no more than one page excluding figures and tables. It can include some of the same information already given in the project charter. b. For Part II, complete A and B only. i. For A, include two charts. One for the Project Management Team (PMT) and the other for engineering led by Engineering Project Manager. For the latter, include only up to the lead level of each discipline. (e.g., lead structure engineer, lead installation engineering, etc.) ii. For B, define only the skills and expertise required. Give at least one skill and/or one expertise. Recruiting strategies is NOT required. c. For Part III, complete A, B, C, D and G only by focusing on

i. For A, list the three (3) most critical requirements, but no more than five (5) requirements.

ii. For B, create a WBS chart and list at least 3 work packages identified along with a brief description of each. No other detail is required such as resource, costs or schedule.

iii. For C, give the title or position of the responsible person for the work packages listed in (ii) based on the team developed in Part II. Make reasonable assumptions using your engineering knowledge when determining the responsibilities.

iv. For D, provide a list of major events, milestones, and critical events. No specific date or duration is required. Make reasonable assumptions.

v. For G, identify and list at least three potential risks. No detail mitigation plan is required.

Note: The project charter should be one page and the PEP should not be more than 2 pages total, excluding figures and tables. Therefore, be concise and to the point when providing an explanation or description
