develop a 2,000-word Project Charter, describing the entire project in a short, succinct, and
professional document.ContextProject leadership is about inspiring the project team to do
their best from the outset. This requires a combination of verbal and written
communication skills and a range of applied leadership skills.One of the foundational
documents that helps “kick off” a project is the Project Charter. The Project Charter
describes the entire project in a short, succinct, and presentable document that can be
shared with project staff or other stakeholders and aims to commence the project in
earnest. The Project Charter helps to clarify the project context, the project team roles, and
the goals of the project.InstructionsYou will be given a project case study to use in order to
develop your Project Charter. Though all students will receive the same case study, it is
expected that each student will think about the project from their own perspective as an up-
and-coming project manager in order to formulate a unique Project Charter. Use your own
style based on your critical thinking of what it means for
youPROJ6000_Assessment_3_Brief_Report_Module6.1 Page 1 of 6to lead a project. You may
use one of the templates provided in the learning resources or develop your own
format.Please follow the instructions below:1. Read the case study provided by your
lecturer. This will form the basis for your Project Charter, because you will assume that you
are the project manager for this project.2. After reading the case study, begin to develop
your project charter. This needs to be a 2,000word report (+/- 10%) and must use a
minimum of six (6) references (academic literature and industry publications—please
consider the case study as a 7th reference). Please ensure all references are cited in-text.3.
The Project Charter must include the following headings and should be written as if you are
