PROJECT CHARTER

In order for a project to be successful it is important that a project charter is put together

objectives.”(1) From this statement it is clear how important a specific, attainable, and

measurable project objectives are to the success of a project.

a new plan to revamp the compensation and benefits package. I have reviewed the current

expectations and have come up with a communication plan so that the team knows exactly

will help with removing any miscommunication about what is expected or required for

the current positions. There needs to be a compensation plan that is written out so that

managers have a way to get the most out of those who report to them. The plan should
