This week we are discussing the project charter and the development of the project scope statement. It is important for the project management professional to understand the true meaning of these project artifacts. Note the project charter and the project scope statement should be documents which the project team and stakeholders can agree too. This means both of these documents must be kept in a place which will allow the project team and the stakeholders of the project to have controlled access to these documents. In your organizations do you have access or do your project teams have access to these documents? If not what type of system do you think would be used to house these important documents?
Next the class must understand that during the beginning of the project these documents will require changes. Why do you think these documents will require changes? What happens if there is no change control process defined?
