The \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.carleton.ca/ccs/project-office\" \u0014Project Management Office\u0015 is your resource for assistance in completing this document.\nAny project matching one or more of the following criteria requires a Project Charter:\nFunding is needed for the project (fiscal or base)\nProject resources will require greater than 30 person days of effort\nProject has an impact on another department (either from the deliverables of the project or for project resourcing)\nProject sponsor determines that strategic visibility for the initiative is necessary\nDepending on the project scope, this document will be reviewed by either the CIO or the Information Systems Steering Committee for approval.  As a result, the completion of all sections of this document with sufficient information is necessary to facilitate that decision.\nThe decision will be one of the following:\nApproval to Execute – Approval to proceed with the execution of the project.\nOn Hold – Approval in principle with the project concept but certain conditions must be met prior to proceeding with execution.\nRejected – Project is declined and is not approved to proceed.\nIt provides important information regarding the value of the solution, its impact to the Carleton community, the overall cost of implementation, ongoing maintenance, and identifying the budget owners.\nISSC reviews and as appropriate, approves or denies all IT projects related to strategic enterprise level initiatives.  Prior to presentation to ISSC, the Charter must be submitted to the appropriate subcommittee (Administrative Computing Committee, Teaching & Learning Computing Committee or Research Computing Committee) for review.  After receiving the support of the subcommittee, the Project Charter must be submitted to the Manager, Project Management Office for inclusion at the next ISSC meeting.\nFor more information on IT governance, please refer to http://carleton.ca/itstrategy/governance/\nProject Description\nProvide a brief description (2-3 sentences) of the outcome or deliverables of the project.\n[Enter section here…]\nProject Purpose\nDescribe the opportunity or problem that this project will address. Identify the key needs that the project is designed to meet and include any background material on the reasons why the project needs have arisen.\n[Enter section here…]\nScope\nScope describes project boundaries by defining what the project will and will not deliver. Deliverables are tangible, verifiable outcomes that signify completion of objectives. Indicate specific features, functions, timelines, costs, quality needs, or other “must have” requirements that restrict the project.\nIdentify the subject areas, deliverables or user groups that are deliberately not included as part of the scope of this project.  Include any items that could be misunderstood as being in scope.\nGoals and Objectives\nObjectives are clear statements of specific activities/tasks that must be performed to achieve the goals. Performance measures are used to determine if objectives have been completed.\nEnsure goals and objectives are Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic and Time-bound (SMART). At least one (1) Objective/Deliverable and one (1) Performance Measure must be identified.\nHigh-level examples include achieving a mandated/legislative demand, decreased costs, improved efficiency or effectiveness, increased capacity, improved customer satisfaction, and decreased institutional risk.\nConsider us","cbCaisSB7sTXy5wi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisSB7sTXy5wi","docx",47904,"English","# Project Charter Overview\n## When a Project Charter Is Required\n## Submission and Approval Process\n# Charter Sections\n## Project Description\n## Project Purpose\n## Scope\n## Goals and Objectives\n## Budget\n## Major Milestones\n## Assumptions and Constraints\n## Impact and Value","[{\"question\":\"What types of IT projects require a Project Charter?\",\"answer\":\"A charter is required when funding is needed, resources require more than 30 person-days, the project impacts another department, or the sponsor requires strategic visibility.
