Task
During the Project Initiation phase, an important artefact is the Project Charter. This artefact clearly indicates
for the project team and all stakeholders the project objectives, scope and vision. In this assignment, you are
provided with a case study project description below. You will create a Project Charter for this project that
will be managed following the adaptive methodology of Agile Scrum. In a project managed using
traditional project management methodologies, the Charter would be a document of just a few pages (around
4) formally outlining the key objectives, schedule and stakeholders. In an Agile project, this artefact would
be displayed in the project team room.
Background
After top management determines which projects to pursue, then it becomes important to notify the organisation
about the projects. The Project Charter is used to authorise the project and nominate the project manager. The
Project Charter formally recognises the project and provides a summary of the details of the project.

It then analyzes the case study based on four principles of effective project governance: ensuring single accountability, aligning ownership with service delivery, separating stakeholder and decision-making roles, and distinguishing project and organizational governance structures. The analysis finds that accountability was clear but some roles like the senior user were not well-defined initially. It also notes that the director had multiple roles that may have contributed to project delays. In conclusion, it recommends following a clear governance framework and avoiding multi-role players to help projects

The document discusses selecting equipment for earthmoving projects based on analyzing the mechanical capabilities of machines and the properties of materials to be handled. It emphasizes that the contractor must choose equipment that can economically relocate and process bulk materials. Key factors in the decision process include the task properties of the material, and matching the machine's abilities. The engineer must calculate required power by considering rolling resistance and grade resistance to determine if a machine is suitable.
The document discusses the importance of construction equipment in major construction projects. It notes that construction equipment accounts for 25-40% of total project costs and aims to provide economy, quality, safety and timely project completion. It classifies equipment into intermittent, continuous flow and mixed types based on work cycles. The document also discusses factors to consider when selecting equipment such as standard vs special types, availability of spare parts, operating costs and utilization. It outlines various costs associated with equipment ownership and operation like depreciation, maintenance, fuel and outlines policies for equipment replacement.
Formwork is a temporary structure used to hold wet concrete in desired shape until it hardens. It is classified based on size, material, and operation. Requirements include strength, water resistance, smooth surfaces. Common formwork includes foundations, walls, columns, slabs, beams, stairs using timber, steel, aluminum, plastic. Removal timing depends on concrete type. Cost is 30-60% of concrete cost. Advanced systems like REVOLA and LOGICA use steel/plywood/polymer facing for crane-lifted walls and columns, withstanding high pressures.
Piles are deep foundations used to transfer structural loads through weak soil layers to stronger soils below. There are different types of piles based on material (concrete, steel, timber) and installation method (driven, cast-in-place). Factors like soil properties, groundwater, and load determine the best pile type. Pile foundations can support axial loads through end-bearing or side friction along the pile shaft. Pile failures may occur due to overloading, poor workmanship, or lack of design considerations for lateral loads.
Remote sensing involves obtaining information about objects through analysis of data collected by instruments without physical contact. It uses electromagnetic radiation as a carrier to transmit data from objects to sensors. The process involves an energy source, interaction with the atmosphere and target, recording by sensors, transmission and processing of data, interpretation and analysis, and applications. Common applications include weather forecasting, mapping, geology, agriculture, hydrology and disaster management.
GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that orbit 11,000 miles above Earth. These satellites continuously broadcast their precise time and location. GPS receivers on Earth measure the time delay of signals from multiple satellites to determine the user's location via triangulation. The system has three segments - space (satellites), control (ground stations), and user (receivers). GPS provides accurate positioning, navigation, and timing services to civilian and military users around the world.
This document provides information on various topics related to leveling and contouring. It discusses the basic principles and methods of leveling, including the instruments used such as dumpy levels and staffs. It covers temporary adjustments, classifications of leveling, errors, reductions of levels, and benchmarks. The document also explains what contour lines are, contour intervals, characteristics of contours, and methods of contouring directly and indirectly.

6. What Is a Project?
A project is “a temporary endeavor undertaken to accomplish a unique
product or service” (PMBOK® Guide 2000, p. 4)
OR
A project is an assignment/task/job that has to be undertaken and
completed within a set time, budget, resources and performance
specifications designed to meet the needs of stakeholders.
Characteristics of projects
unique purpose
temporary
require resources, often from various areas
should have a primary sponsor and/or customer
involve uncertainty
7. For example
The XYZ Agency has donated 7.5 crore to provide 3 BHK homes to 50 families living
in the VARACHHA informal settlement. On 6 February 2004, the agency signed a
contract with the ABC DEVLOPERS to implement the project. The following
requirements, set in the contract:
The 3 bedroomed houses must meet specifications in line with government policy.
50 families must be given skills development training in small business development
and small business start-up. This is to ensure that the families will be able to afford
rentals, maintenance of the homes and to expand their homes to accommodate the
growth of the families in the future.
The project must be completed within three years and the handover of the homes to
the 50 families must be a high profile public event.
8. From the example we see:
a clear task - build 3 BHK homes for 50 families;
a set time – within 3 years;
a budget – 7.5 crore;
performance specifications – houses meet specifications in line with
government policy.
beneficiaries – 50 families;
stakeholders – donor agency, Department of Housing.
9. Project stakeholders
Project stakeholders are individuals and organizations who are actively
involved in the project, or whose interests may be positively or negatively
affected by the project.
Key stakeholders in the example above include:
Project Manager - the individual responsible for managing the project;
Project beneficiaries – 50 families who are going to receive the houses;
Performing organization – the ABC DEVLOPERS whose employees are
most directly involved in doing the work of the project.
Sponsor – XYZ Agency.
10. In addition to these different typical stakeholders:
Suppliers and contractors
Project team members and their families
Government agencies
Community representatives and organizations.
11. Typical Stakeholders
Sponsor
Funding Body
Customer
Suppliers
End User
Environmental Agency
Maintenance Team
Neighbours/Community/Shareholders
12. What is Project Management?
Project management is “the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and
techniques of project activities in order to meet project requirements”
(PMI*, Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), 2000, p. 6)
OR
Project Management is the use of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to
plan and implement activities to meet or exceed stakeholder needs and
expectations from a project.
*The Project Management Institute (PMI) is an international professional society. Their web
site is www.pmi.org.

14. The starting point begins the moment the project is given the go- ahead (when a
contract agreement is signed). Project effort starts slowly, builds to a peak, and then
declines to delivery of the project to the customer.
specifications of the project are defined, project objectives are established,
project teams are formed and major responsibilities are assigned.
plans are developed to determine the project steps, beneficiaries,
timeframes, quality standards and budget.

Every project has constraints or limitations.
The three main constraints are:
• Scope – work that will be done /
expected results of project
• Cost – cost to complete project /
budget
• Time – amount of time to complete
the project / schedule
Successful project balances constraints to
satisfy project sponsor (customer)!
