Drupal’s definition of module is way different than my outward-facing content definition. Some of my conversations with the development team were challenging until we agreed on how we’d use the word “module” moving forward.  \nTIMELINE  \nThe timeline doesn’t need tobe super detailed at this point. I usually just include the project start date, end date, and key dates or timeframes in between, such as times people should expect to review work in progress. Later, as you flesh out the timeline in more detail, you can append it to the charter (or electronically store it somewhere that’s accessible to everyone) .  \nBUDGET  \nI like to include a little information about budget to help people understand the relative size of the project. A lot of the project charters I’ve come across don’t include budget information because it’s not information that’s shared broadly. So it’s really up to you.  \nIf you’re hiring someone from the outside to do most of the work, you could just include the total budget for the work. If you’re doing the work internally, I suggest listing the number of hours you’re estimating it will take for each person or team. If it’s a combination of outside consultants and internal resources, you could do both.  \nYou’ll want to include details about how the budget will be managed and how requests for additional hours or budget will be handled. So your budget section might look something like this:  \nThe monetary budget for this project is $\\#\\#\\#,\\#\\#\\# for \u003Cvendor>, which includes \u003Cdescription of work tobe completed>. Internal resources will also be used, and are estimated as follows: Team 1, 200 hours; Team 2, 40 hours; Team 3, 68 hours.  \n\u003CVendor> will provide a weekly summary of completed tasks and remaining budget. Internal resources will also summarize how many hours they’ve used each week. You will discuss any requests for more time or dollars in your weekly status meetings.  \nPROJECT TEAM  \nUse the charter or management plan to identify the project players and what will be expected of them throughout the project. You can use a matrix similar to the stakeholder matrix, but with fewer people and details. For example, you don’t have to include every stakeholder—instead include only the ones who will have day-to-day involvement in the project.  \nI usually include an overview of day-to-day team members with job descriptions. Then I create a matrix of tasks, such as managing the work, scheduling and performing logistics activities, doing the work, reviewing the work, and coordinating reviews and feedback from other stakeholders. Table 5.1 is an example of some tasks in a typical project team matrix.  \nTABLE 5.1 SAMPLE PROJECT TEAM MATRIX  \n| Discovery\u003Cbr>Schedule stakeholder interviews. |  | X |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Conduct stakeholder interviews. |  | X | X |\n| Work with stakeholders to gather existing documentation. | X |  |  |\n| Create content inventory. |  | X |  |\n| Prepare Strategic Alignment Summary. |  | X | X |\n| Review Strategic Alignment Summary. | X | X |  |\n| Coordinate the review process with other\u003Cbr>stakeholders, and compile feedback. | X |  |  |\n\nREVIEW PROCESS  \nConsider including a short paragraph about how your review process for project deliverables will work.
