“Customer Care Centre” Project Charter
Reading requirement, marking standard and follow that.
The project charter must be written in the context of the project and use the assignment 1
template.
Requirements
This assignment is based on the Zanpac Financial Services Customer Care Centre case study (attached).
You have been appointed Project Manager for the Customer Care Centre project at Zanpac Financial
Services. The Director of Technology (CTO) has asked you to “do an initial scoping of the project”,
keeping in mind that the project should be finished by the end of August 2021.
As you are new to Zanpac Financial Services, you inquire as to what should be covered in an initial
scoping of the project. This step in Zanpac’s project management methodology is called a “Project
Charter” and is used to lay out the basic parameters of the project for signoff by the Project Sponsor
and key members of the Executive Team. If the broad parameters of the project are accepted, then
the project may proceed to the project planning phase.
The project charter must contain the following sections:
1. Document purpose
2. Project Background
3. Project Goals / Objectives
4. Project Value Statement
5. Project Stakeholders (with position, name and contact details)
6. Project Success Criteria
7. Project Constraints
8. Project Scope (product‐oriented scope only)
9. Three level Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
10. Recommendations and Approvals
It is envisaged that your project charter will be approximately 1500 words in length (excluding
appendices and table of contents).
