Due: Sunday, 11:59 p.m. EST of Unit 1. Points: 100 Overview: In this assignment, you will create a project charter for your project and a stakeholder register. The Charter should be broad enough that subsequent changes to the project do not impact the charter. Details of all stakeholders along with insights and analysis about their identity in the organization, their expectations and potential influences on the project and possible classification based on such analyses are components of the stakeholder register. Instructions: Use the project charter and stakeholder register Word templates available in Unit 1 for this assignment. Use of other project charter or stakeholder register templates must be approved by the program chair; reach out to your instructor to get approval.
