Project Objectives
|
What are the cost, schedule, and quality objectives of this project? Your objective statement is likely to be the same or similar as in your project charter, based on any new knowledge. Here you might add goals for the project. Objectives can and often do look past the end for the project, such as an example of cutting costs in operations by 15%. It is highly possible that your project objective will have some subobjectives or goals. For example, the project objective for the software project might be as follows.
The objective of this project is to develop a new programming application for the payroll department that will interface with the existing Kronos system by 10/12/2014 at a budgeted cost of $50,000. The goals of the project include the following.

Exclusions
|
What are the boundaries of the project? What is not going to be included in the project? This helps the project manager to set boundaries on the project scope. For example, on our software development project, we might exclude some specific functionality on the program. Let’s say Internet access for credit card payments will not be included in the programming for this project. You should have at least 10–15 exclusions.
