This resource explores the challenges of working on a project charter. Brown, A. S. (2005). The charter: selling your project. Paper presented at PMI?

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.

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.
