Using the project management case study, develop a project charter (use headings) of three to four pages (no more than four pages). In addition to the course textbook, research two additional resources. In your charter,

• Summarize the project’s scope and limitations.
• Propose a business case for the project. 
  • Address how the project will enable the corporate       strategy.
  • Address how the project will apply corporate social       responsibility (CSR) values.
  • Calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) for the project       business case. (Use Microsoft Excel to derive the NPV assuming the data       below—submit an Excel spreadsheet as an appendix: 
    • Purchase price of $400,000.
    • One-time project costs total of $100,000 spent in        Year 0.
    • Net benefits after taxes of $150,000 per year for        five years.
    • Salvage value for Year 6 and beyond of $400,000.)
  • Summarize your results of NPV in the paper and refer       to the Appendix.
• Develop a milestone schedule that includes five to      seven elements 
  • Use the case study to derive the milestones. If the       case is lacking, feel free to include a solution or milestone that you       think Walmart would value.
• Predict the risks, threats, and opportunities of the      project.
• Outline resources needed for the project.
• Develop your plan to form a high-performing project      team.
• Identify five important groups of stakeholders.
