Instructions
This is a huge project, but you are only assigned with item 7 of the attached charter which is the high-level alternatives analysis.
If you have any questions or need clarification, please let me know.
Basic Instructions:
Decide how to construct and make ready to open the new Acme Mexico City (AMC) facility. In doing so, each team prepares a report to include a team work plan (TWP), a project charter (PC), and a project management plan (PMP) for the facility.
Additional Instructions:
Project Charter1
Use a format of your choice, such as Kathy Schwalbe's
I'll be looking particularly for
What is the purpose of the project
Who tasked it and who sponsors it (you should hypothesize a sensible choice of sponsor at Acme headquarters in NC, USA)
Why it was tasked (= business need or goal)
What key project team assignments have been made
What deadlines and/or milestones have been imposed - this will complete the AMC project's initial Triple Constraint
What starting resources have been made available
Remember: your project team will be mostly Mexican and all Spanish speaking
Remember that this is an international project set in Mexico
Use the PMP to demonstrate your knowledge of the Triple Constraint and of the 10 project management areas found in Schwalbe (2015) and the PMBOK (5e, 2013)
Cultural and legal considerations pertinent to projects and operations in Mexico should also be identified and treated (this is where your mostly-Mexican, all-Spanish-speaking project team will help)
