Additional Information
After completing your stakeholder analysis and developing yourstakeholder register, you started working on your next project,which will be to develop a project charter. You started to gatherinformation from various stakeholders via interviews and e-mails.The latest e-mail you sent caused quite a response. Severalmeetings were centered on the project charter, statement of work(SOW), work breakdown structure (WBS), and enterprise environmentalfactors and organizational process assets that you will use tocomplete the second and most important deliverable at this stage,the project charter. Jim comes to your desk one afternoon forfurther discussion.
\"Our team meetings on the SOW, project charter, WBS, andenvironmental factors and organizational process assets have beenvery productive,\" says Jim. \"Thanks for getting this projectcharter moving in the right direction.\"
\"Anytime,\" you say.
\"So, based on our last team meeting, do you think we are ready towrite a concise SOW and the project charter?\" asks Jim.
\"I think we have enough information to assess risks, assumptions,define scope inclusions and exclusions, objectives, business need,milestones, high-level budget breakdown, acceptance criteria, andconstraints,\" you say.

\"Have you ever prepared a WBS before?\" asksJim<.>
\"I have,\" you say. \"Prior to working at ACH, I was an associateproject manager for an engineering firm on the West Cost.\"
\"Oh, that's great!\" says Jim, handing you a document, saying, \"Hereis a simple template that combines all three deliverables: the SOW,the project charter, and the WBS. Do you think you can update theproject charter for me with all of the required information?\"
\"Sure,\" you say, looking at the document. \"You know, in my previousjob, we developed three separate documents for these threedeliverables.”
Jim smiles and says, “Oh, believe me I know that, but as you knowwe’re a small organization and have developed our own ways ofmanaging project records within the overall project managementPMBOK^® Guideframework. Remember, the PMBOK^® Guide framework is a tool kitand we’ve taken from it what works well for us here.”
