5. Planning: Why Bother?
Things go wrong - plans fail.
Nothing turns out as we expect.
Fate makes sport of our best intentions.
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your
plans.
No-Man’s Land, Scott Huler

11. Step 1: The Project Goal
Project Charter
1. WHO is paying for this Project?

3. WHEN will they get the investment back?
Team Charter
1. Is the goal CLEAR to each team member?
2. Is the team CAPABLE of achieving the goal?
3. Is COMPENSATION fair for each team member?

16. Step 2: Analyze Stakeholders
A Stakeholder is anyone
who is:
•Impacted by activities or
results of a project
•Interested in the project
progress, output or
outcome.
•In a position to Influence
(power), support or resist
the outcome
Failure to address stakeholder issues
often leads to project “failure”!

17. Our Stakeholders
• Service Learning Faculty: teaches or encourages students
to combine learning goals and community service in ways
that can enhance both student growth and strengthen the
community.
• College Students: students who might support the project.
• Residents: anyone that resides in the town/area.
• Local Businesses: a company providing goods or services in
the town/area.
• Local Government: any administrator/department that works
in public office and representatives elected by those who live
in the town/area.
• Donors: public or private funders that could donate to the
project.
