Project Charter Template.docx Project Charter Template.docx – Alternative Formats

Adherence to APA formatting is required and the paper should include a minimum of 3 references.

Case Study for this assignment will be: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Iridium: A Project Management Perspective (pg. 327)

Notes: This is a long case study. Please focus your research on errors related to poor/lack of project charter development

In every initiation phase, a charter is usually presented as a formal establishment and commitment for a project. Students will developed a detailed charter around the case study with emphasis placed around the following outcomes:

Understanding the business context around the project describing tangible and intangible deliverable(s)
Analyzing the strategic perspective and how it links to organizational strategy
Determining appropriate project management methodologies
Recommending solutions in complex project management scenarios

A case analysis is designed to help you sharpen your analytical skills. The strongest way to analyze a case is to apply a variation of the scientific method. This method of analysis is simply a logical approach that usually includes the seven steps outlined below.

The required components of a case study are:
Summarize the case.
Identify and define central problem or problems.
Justify problem(s) definition.
Identify potential solutions.
Reframe (analyze) key elements of case, paying particular attention to the efficacy of your potential solutions.
Propose a specific solution.
Justify your specific solution.
Develop a plan for implementing and evaluating your proposed solution.

1. Summarize the Case

Study the case. Take extensive notes on events, issues, relationships, actions and reactions.
When intimately familiar with case, write a summary focusing on events, decisions, actions and counter actions.
Be succinct, avoid of extraneous details.

2. Identify and define central problem or problems.

Diagnose predecessor events symptomatic of dysfunction.
Distinguish between presenting symptom(s) and cloaked symptom(s).
Frame the definition, remembering definition suggests a solution.
Cite scholarly studies to support your identification and definition. Studies should relate to the central concepts for the specific course for which the case study is being prepared.

It is important to separate the immediate problems from their more basic sources or root causes. For example, the immediate problem may be a high rate of absenteeism, while the more fundamental issue may be a poor motivational climate. How you define a problem determines how you go about solving it. A short-term solution for absenteeism is likely to be different from solutions which attempt to deal with motivational climate. Be sure to identify both the symptom and, more importantly, its underlying cause.

3. Justify problem(s) definition and statement.

Present factual evidence drawn from the case and your inferences.
Inferences must be congruent with events in the case and logically drawn from both the presenting and cloaked symptoms.
Inferences should be supported by scholarly research and directly relate to course concepts and events in the case.

4. Identify potential solutions.

Document potential solutions to the problem, ensuring that each logically flows from the problem definition and statement.
Each potential solution is supported by scholarly research that addresses the problem.
Potential solutions should reflect integration of course concepts and scholarly research.

5. Reframe (analyze) key elements of case, paying particular attention to the efficacy of your potential solutions.

Reframe the key elements of the case, paying particular attention to the efficacy of your potential solutions and their relationship to the problem as defined.
Reframing is a re-capitulated summary that expresses your conclusions based on fact, inference, course concepts, and scholarly research.

6. Propose a specific solution.

Based on your reframing and review of potential solutions, course concepts and scholarly research, make a specific recommendation that addresses both the manifested and cloaked symptoms in the case.
The specific recommendation may combine several of your proposed solutions.

7. Justify your specific solution.

Support your specific recommendation or combination of recommendations by citing scholarly research from at least three different scholars.

8. Develop a plan for implementing and evaluating your proposed solution.

Develop a plan for implementing your proposed solution.
The plan should have concrete and measurable outcomes.
Any plan should be well documented and reflect support for your strategy and tactics from the scholarly research and reflect a clear understanding of the courses central concepts

Take away summary

Reflection is an important component when processing new information. In each module, you were prompted to include a reflection summary or activity in your journal. These reflection activities were to be titled Takeaway Summary. Through this reflection, you had the opportunity to explore concepts that were introduced throughout the module week.

With that goal in mind, you should have taken the opportunity to reflect on and react to the module readings, discussions, media, and other content presented. Your summaries should include the module’s concepts and/or experiences that you will or may use in the future in your career, or just personal life.

Attempt an effective quotation of the following passage, following the “‘Quote Sandwich’ Approach” described in the “Avoiding Plagiarism” reading in Module 1. Also be sure to include a citation.

Original Passage (from Derald Wing Sue’s “Racial Microagressions in Everyday Life,” published online in Psychology Today, Oct. 5, 2010):

Racial microaggressions are the brief and everyday slights, insults, indignities and denigrating messages sent to people of color by well-intentioned White people who are unaware of the hidden messages being communicated.

Attempt an effective and accurate paraphrase of the following passage, based on what you learned about paraphrases from our readings on plagiarism in Module 1. Also be sure to include a citation.

Original Passage (from Deborah Tannen’s “The Triumph of the Yell,” p. 534, published in the book Reading Rhetorically,in 2002):

More and more these days, journalists, politicians and academics treat public discourse as an argument–not in the sense of making an argument, but in the sense of having one, of having a fight.

When people have arguments in private life, they’re not trying to understand what the other person is saying. They’re listening for weaknesses in logic to leap on, points they can distort to make the other look bad. We all do this when we’re angry, but is it the best model for public intellectual interchange? This breakdown of the boundary between public and private is contributing to what I have come to think of as a culture of critique.

Question 73 pts
Attempt an effective and accurate paraphrase of the following passage, based on what you learned about paraphrases from our readings on plagiarism in Module 1. Also be sure to include a citation.

Original Passage (from Beth L. Bailey’s “Dating,” p. 194, published in the book Reading Critically, Writing Well,in 1999):

One day, the 1920s story goes, a young man asked a city girl if he might call on her. We know nothing else about the man or the girl–only that, when he arrived, she had her hat on. Not much of a story to us, but any American born before 1910 would have gotten the punch line. “She had her hat on”: those five words were rich in meaning to early twentieth century Americans. The hat signaled that she expected to leave the house. He came on a “call,” expecting to be received in her family’s parlor, to talk, to meet her mother, perhaps to have some refreshments or to listen to her play the piano. She expected a “date,” to be taken “out” somewhere and entertained.

In the early twentieth century this new style of courtship, dating, had begun to supplant the old. Born primarily of the limits and opportunities of urban life, dating had almost completely replaced the old system of calling by the mid-1920s–and, in doing so, had transformed American courtship.
