Practicum Project Design/ Initiation – NR 640 Week 3
Practicum Project Design/ Initiation – NR 640 Week 3
This assignment is designed to help students lay the groundwork for their project plan with the help of mentors and professors. The mentor becomes a team member for the project that the student will manage. The student will identify the stakeholders, project priority, how the measurable goals will be met for a successful project, and who will receive the report of the results of the project. The scope document describes the parameters of the project, including what can and cannot be accomplished and the measurable objectives and outcome measures. The project charter describes and defines the project. When the sponsor signs off on the project, it becomes the document that authorizes the project.
Week 3, you will complete the Project Scope and Charter. Prior to completing this assignment, please review the case study in the Week 3 Lecture, because it includes a sample project charter. Based on the information from the mentor and professor, each student finalizes and completes the project charter and scope documents or statements. The project scope must be approved by your practicum organization. Your mentor should help you obtain approval. Project approval must be received prior to submitting these documents. Appendices are provided for both of these documents in Course Resources.
