This is a high point assignment. Do not cut corners!

As a team, create a Project Charter for The Fresh Connection:

Use the eight$-$category template at: Template$-$Project$-$Charter

Your team is seeking permission to run a lean project $-$ the one you created a scorecard for earlier

The scope should be limited to the $4$ roles, the processes you control, and should take $180$ days

To save you time and show a sample of $1$ page, the desired situation has been completed by the CEO $-$ ask your professor for any clarification you need

Do not do any optional items which would go into the appendix $$ those will come later

Take educated guesses in areas where you may not have all the information $$ have some fun

The project charter is seeking approval to resource and run the project $-$ you do not have infinite information

Challenges to consider:

You must estimate financial benefits and costs $-$ what would it mean if you could get to an ROI of $10\%?$

Don't jump to conclusions on the exact changes needed

Don't jump to some magic software to cure all the problems $-$ the company already has an ERP system

Don't be cheap $-$ you are a team of VPs and this project needs to deliver big benefits

Watch your math closely $-$ the instructor does not want to deal with confusion and errors

Don't be chaotic cost cutters $-$ this is a lean class and there is nothing worse than chaotic cost cutters

When complete:

Save your Project Charter as a PDF

Submit your PDF to complete this assignment $-$ each person should upload the charter

REPEAT $-$ each person should upload the Project Charter $-$ that will help with getting everyone points toward the class grade
