Overview
Based on the assignment from Module 3 based on estimating the resources for
constructing a DIY Brick oven, create a Project Charter. I recommend that you
download and use this Project Charter Template
to complete the assignment. Your charter will serve as the foundational document
authorizing the pizza oven project and providing a clear overview of expectations and
deliverables.
Step 1: Project Information
Complete basic details:
o Project Name: You could come up with a cool name which you like for this
project
o Project Number: Create a suitable project number.
o Project Manager: Your name.
o Project Sponsor: Name the restaurant manager or owner commissioning
the oven.
Step 2: Proposed Project Summary
Clearly define:
Project: Briefly describe the outdoor brick pizza oven project.
Objective: Specify the tangible product (e.g., a fully functional, aesthetically
pleasing outdoor brick pizza oven).
Outcome: Clearly articulate the business value, e.g., enhanced customer
experience, increased restaurant appeal, or improved service efficiency.
Related Strategy: Describe how this aligns with your company’s business
strategy, such as growth, customer satisfaction, or brand positioning.
Step 3: Proposed Project Details
Project Details: Outline what the pizza oven project will accomplish, including
detailed elements of the oven (foundation, base, capstone, fire arch, dome, and
veneer).
Measures of Success: Clearly define success criteria (timely completion,
adherence to budget, customer satisfaction, structural quality).
Constraints: List key constraints (budget limits, specific materials required,
deadlines, site restrictions).
Operational Impacts: Describe how the project will impact PizzaCraft’s
operations (construction impacts, changes in service, training needs).
Step 4: Expected Schedule
Provide a high-level timeline using your previously created WBS, defining approximate
start and end dates for key deliverables such as:
Site preparation and foundation work
Base and capstone construction
Oven hearth and fire arch construction
Dome construction and insulation
Final veneer and project closeout
Step 5: Expected Effort
Outline the estimated human resource requirements (man-hours or resource effort),
based on the detailed tasks provided.
Step 6: Expected Costs
Provide high-level estimated costs using categories such as:
Materials (concrete, fire bricks, mortar, etc.)
Labor (specialists, general workers)
Equipment rentals or purchases (wheelbarrow, saw, tools)
Step 7: Approval
Prepare the approval section with the sponsor’s name, including a signature line and
date for official approval to formally initiate the project. Attached is the project charter template please use it
