Context:
In the first two Modules of PRO100, you learnt some of the core concepts in project management including the definition of a project, and how a project is different from repetitive and routine work as well as the environment in which a project operates, and how to select a project. You were also introduced to the processes in the initiating process group, and how to identify and categorise stakeholders and manage stakeholder engagement.
In this assessment, you will demonstrate your understanding of:
• the concept of a project;
• the role of a project charter;
• the concept of a stakeholder;
as well as your ability to
• identify a project and the objective of a project;
• develop a project charter;
