A New Approach for Constructing and Generating AOA Networks

In this MPP era, how many of you still use AOA and AON techniques to find your Project Management problems' solutions? Honestly speaking, I have stopped using AOA and AON techniques after start using Microsoft Project. Microsoft Project is quite fast to get solution but, somehow I really miss using AOA and AON. Today while surfing I found out this really great article about "A New Approach for Constructing and Generating AOA Networks" on The Scientific Journals. It's really worth to read.

How to create Project Charter in 7 Easy Steps

 

The Project charter is the document that officially starts the project. The charter is one of the most important documents on a project. It is essential for creating the project. The project can’t be official without Project Charter. Absence of Project Charter may create huge difficulties to Project Manager (My personal experience).

Below are seven easy steps to create project charter document.

• To create a Project Charter, you must be quite clear about the project and its objectives. Begin the document by explaining the project objectives and effect of that project on organization. The charter basically reflect the usefulness of the project for company and its customers. And the main thing, you must to be convinced by it’s statement of purpose.
• Make list of all the stakeholders and all the persons going to involve in the project. Define their roles and responsibilities. Organization chart can work pretty good here.
• Developing Project Charter is a group activity. A single person cannot create project charter by alone. Before work on the project can commence, the project charter must be supported by the person in charge or a sponsor. The supervising person signs the project charter document to indicate approval.
• Define the context and scope of the project, specifying who or what the project will affect. Include the expectations and limitations to the project and people affected by it.
• Measurement is very important in any project. Project Charter document must have the measurable goals documented.
• Risk analysis and plan are also quite important in project execution and planning. The Project Charter document should include contingency plans for possible risks. 
• Resource plan also need to be included in Project Charter document. Include a list of financial, material and staffing resources in project charter.
