Project Charter for Application Development

Question: Discuss about the Project Charter for Application Development. Answer: Project informations Project title Music application development project Project leader xx Contact address: 002xxxxx56 Duration: 4 months: Start:1/09/2016 End:31/12/2016 Estimated budget: 310,000 Goal: Is to develop a set of two music application aimed at improving children mathematics and language skills for both normal and disable children for a period of 4 months. Objectives: 1. To develop music education application for children with disability. 2. To develop music education application for normal children for a period. Vision: To be a leading music application development service provider for mathematical and language skills for children. Mission: The project focuses on usage of technology innovations and research in order to improve childrens engagements in learning of mathematics and language skills. Background of the project There has been an increase in education application over the years especially in the area of children games(Cleland, 2013). The applications have innovative, motivating to children covering a number of conceptual and analysis areas(Tiwana, 2014). Seeley booth and temperance Bennan organization is in the fore front in improving learning programs in schools. Project problem statement Majority of the education application cover other areas of learning, and no application model is present to cover areas of mathematics and language skills. Development of the software will be useful for young children. Success criteria The project: Should be completed on time Within the specified budget And within intended scope(PMI., 2013) Project approach The project will apply the agile project approach which is iterative in nature(Heagney, 2016). The approach is a complex approach that allows interaction and integration of various functions following a project life cycle(Heagney, 2016). It also allows changes to take place in the system. Project budget A bottom up approach will be used for project budget.

Constraints Constraints Impacts Changing nature of technology Affects product development Extend of the market Needs sufficient resources to cover them Resistance of top executives Limitation in making decisions Non co-operation among employees Difficulty in implementation Assumptions The project will assume that: Resources will be sufficient The product will be accepted in the market The application will commence within the required time limit Dependencies The project will depend on: No competitors are developing the same product Advertising of the product Project risks The following are risks and mitigation plans Risks Mitigation plans Software failure Prototype will be design for testing(Larson, 2011). Resistance and acceptance of the product Proper exposure on usage Project timelines It covers the time to undertake various deliverables: Date Milestones Deliverables 1/9/2016 Writing of project plan Project plan 10/9/2016 Software development IT software 28/9/2016 Musical application design Music application 3/10/2016 Mathematical application model Mathematical application 18/10/2016 Language application model Language application 1/11/2016 Models integrations Complete product 5/11/2016 Proto type launching Product trial 5/11/2016 Alpha version launch 1st launch 15/12/2016 Beta version launch 2nd launch References Cleland, D. a.
