Hello everyone,

For this week’s DB I chose Situation 1 for creating the WBS, identify the project scope,
its assumptions, and constraints and the top 3 risks of the project.

First I want to mention the definition of project scope, this is for having a better
understanding of it, and as it was stated by  Larson, E. & Gray, C. (2014) “Project scope
is a definition of the end result or mission of your project—a product or service for your
client/customer. The primary purpose is to define as clearly as possible the
deliverable(s) for the end user and to focus project plans.” On the following I will
mention the project scope for this situation.

Project Charter: Company’s Picnic


Background:

I have been assigned as the project manager to plan a corporate picnic. 

Goals:

 Create an event good for everyone


 Staying under the budget
 Promote union between employees

Project Scope Situation 1:

The project is aimed to create a corporate picnic event for the company’s employees,
this under a $7000 budget.

Assumptions and Constraints

According to Usmani, F. (2020) “An assumption is what you believe to be true. […] and
the Constraints are limitations imposed on the project”

Assumptions

 All the employees will be available


 Easy to find an open space for the picnic
Constraints

 Under a budget
 Not enough time for planning the event

Risks

 Rain can delay the event


 Some employees can have allergies to certain food
 Transport and Traffic Management
