Project Charter:

• At  this point, we are performing a comprehensive preparation of a  charter  document inclusive of the scope statement, so remember that  there will  be many facets to this document that serves as a formal  initiation  artifact once approved by the sponsor. For this document,  focus on those  items specifically mentioned or directly implied in the  case study, but  consider other factors that may not be listed.  You can  research  common training programs and add additional categories. You  will have to  make some reasonable assumptions to complete the analysis,  but this is  often the case this early in a project.
• Ensure you complete the template fully for each section and that you include detailed information.
• Please  also include a one page written introduction that outlines  the process  you utilized to prepare the charter and scope statement.
• Cite all sources using APA forma
