Assignment:
Development of Project Charter
The first and the foremost thing in any project management is development of the project charter, a document that officially starts a project and provides a reference for the future as well as a direction from start to end. A Project Charter contains objective statement of a project, describes key project goals, lists key stakeholders, and enumerates roles and responsibilities of project team members. Thus, your supervisor asked to develop a project charter to formally initiate the EHR project. The Project Charter document should comprise:
- Title of the Project - EHR Implementation Phase I
- Project Objective - why you want to undertake the project? What are the anticipated benefits?
- Project Goals - what are you trying to accomplish?
- Stakeholders - who will benefit from the project?
- Project Team - Project Managers and Project Steering Committee; their roles and responsibilities.
This step of the project should comprise 3 to 5 APA formatted pages, excluding the Cover and Reference pages.
Your supervisor also advised you to read these articles before proceeding with this step:
