Objective: The objective of this midterm assignment is to assess your understanding of project initiation, its key components, and your ability to apply project management concepts in a real-world scenario. You will be required to develop a project initiation document (PID) for a fictional project.

Scenario: Imagine you are a project manager at a consulting firm specializing in IT solutions. Your firm has been approached by a client, Amazing Corporation, to develop a new mobile application for their customers. The client wants an app that will provide a seamless user experience and enhance customer engagement. Your task is to initiate this project effectively by creating a comprehensive Project Initiation Document (PID).

Instructions:

1. Project Initiation Document (PID) - Develop a PID for the Amazing Corporation mobile application project. Your PID should include the following sections:

• Project Title: Provide a concise and descriptive title for the project.
• Project Objectives: Clearly state the project's objectives and what the client hopes to achieve.
• Project Scope: Define the boundaries of the project. What is included and what is excluded from the project?
• Stakeholder Analysis: Identify and analyze the key stakeholders involved in the project. Consider their interests, influence, and potential impact on the project.
• Project Deliverables: List the major deliverables expected from the project. Include both tangible (e.g., the mobile app) and intangible (e.g., improved customer satisfaction) deliverables.
• Project Constraints and Assumptions: Identify any constraints that may affect the project (e.g., budget, timeline) and assumptions made during the project initiation phase.
• Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks associated with the project and provide a preliminary assessment of their impact and probability. Use a risk matrix if necessary.
• Project Team: Outline the roles and responsibilities of key project team members, and describe their qualifications and experience.
• Project Schedule: Provide a high-level project schedule, including major milestones and their estimated dates.

2. Justification and Rationale (2 pages) - Write a brief justification and rationale for the project. Explain why the project is important for Amazing Corporation and how it aligns with their strategic goals.
