Aim
Discuss about the Project Charter Document: Plan Infrastructure Long-Term for “Future Melbourne Plan.”
The following is a project charter document made for the project of “Plan Infrastructure Long-Term for Future Melbourne Plan” and it has focused on the planning infrastructure for long term. The project would involve the development of the activities favouring the utilization of the effective project management operations and development. The charter document would involve the analysis of the project aim, high level project justification, project boundaries, key deliverables, high level requirements, assumptions and constraints, overall project risk, project objectives and success criteria, summary milestone schedule, approved financial resources, key stakeholder list, project exist criteria, assigned project manager, responsibility, and authority, and authority stakeholder analysis.
The “Plan Infrastructure Long-Term for Future Melbourne Plan” project aims for the development of the Melbourne city by the year of 2026 making modification in the existing infrastructure of the Melbourne and develop better plan for the infrastructure. The project focuses on the management of the changes in the city with the growth of the population and increment of the city requirements. The long term planning of the infrastructure would involve the utilization of the resources for forming improved infrastructures in the city Melbourne. The city would require the development and improved operations favouring the implication of the effective activity development. The purpose of the project is to use the principles of the project management and develop effective plan for the deployment of the effective infrastructure for the Melbourne. The long term plan involves the utilization of the operations favouring the implication of the effective construction and refurbishment operations in the city.
The project of “Plan Infrastructure Long-Term for Future Melbourne Plan” is deployed for development of the Melbourne city by the year of 2026. It would help in making modification in the existing infrastructure and develop better plan for the infrastructure. The growth of technology had made the needs and facility expectation of the people also to rise high.
