• Getta Byte Software Project Charter

In the Week 1 Lesson Video, you were introduced to the team at Getta Byte Software. Your assignment this week is to discuss the billing project charter and submit a one- to two-page paper. Consider what additional risks, assumptions, or requirements Getta Byte should include in this charter.

• What have they missed?
• What would you add if you were the project manager?

In the video that follows, you will meet Hugh Duitt, NoniaBizness, and Ima Payne, who are on the leadership team of Getta Byte software, the CEO, PMO Director, and the Project Manager, respectively. They are discussing the new billing system that they need to develop and implement. Based on the information in the video, play the drag and drop game below and complete the charter template. This week's discussion will be based on this charter, so be sure to complete it.

Getta Byte SoftwareThe Project Scope

We need a new billing system.

Why?

The one we have works fine.

It's manual, time-consuming, and inaccurate.

There is that...

So, it has to be automated, fast, and accurate.

An online system

Easy data entry

Dynamic updates to receivables

It should save us 25% in labor per month.

We need to work with a bunch of people.

CEO, CFO, Finance, Billing, Customer Service

How will we know if it is a successful system?

Billing cycles are reduced by 30%

We must do the first pilot by September 1.

That means development and testing is done by August 15.

Final release will be complete on September 10.

If we are able to generate reports dynamically...

Speed up transactions and response time...

We'll be golden!

We only have $250,000 to spend on this project.

What if while we are replacing the system, we have network issues?

There is a risk in data transfer from our paper records to the new system.

That budget is going to be a challengea real constraint.

We have to assume that our most of our current customer data are correct.

We won't be able to do anything with accounts receivable.

We won't be able to change our financial system of record, either except to interface.

I think that's all I need for a charter.
