Project team leadership and management is in demand in the corporate, private, and public sectors.  The client would like to develop a commercially viable training lecture/presentation that could be provided to help small to medium sized [SME] business managers understand the value of knowing how to lead and manage projects internally, and/or how to choose when to seek an external PM contractor to provide project management planning and direction.


Your Project Team is invited to respond to this request for proposal to develop a project management plan to develop a training presentation package that can be

•    Delivered into the SME business sector through commercial mechanisms, initially in SE Queensland; then
•    Expanded into a national training program using a licensee or franchise model.


Preliminary Task – develop a Project Charter
Your Project Team, based on information, sought from and/or provided by the Project Sponsor, initially will submit a project charter (agreement) to secure the opportunity to develop and submit a project management plan.
•    This project charter must be submitted to the Project Sponsor, or their representative, in your respective tutorial of Week 5.  An indicative template for the project charter, outlining major areas of consideration, will be provided. Your Project Team may wish to provide additional content as deemed appropriate.

•    NB:  this document needs to be agreed to by both parties in writing and included as an appendix to the Project Plan


Phase 1 – preliminary Project Management Plan development
Your Project Team will, following full scoping of the project, provide a preliminary project management plan to the Project Sponsor, or their representative, no later than 6pm on Wednesday (Week 11).

•    An indicative template for the preliminary project plan, outlining major areas of consideration, will be provided.

•    Your Project Team may wish to provide additional content as deemed appropriate. Subject to Project Sponsor representative’s approval, the Project Team will be paid a hypothetical fee of $2,000 for the provision of this document (this figure to be included in the Phase 1 preliminary project management plan budget).
