Write a one page narrative describing the project, its sponsor, and why this project is a good candidate for your course work. I expect the narrative to be written in clear English with well-structured sentences and paragraphs.

Also, initiate your Project Notebook.

3.Using the templates provided during Week 1, develop a communications plan for your project, including a RACI-O matrix. Also, develop a preliminary Risk Register, including risk response plans.

5.Develop a budget for your project, using the 3rd level of your approved WBS. Use a reasonable fully-loaded average hourly rate for each role on the project. Include any ODC costs you might incur during project completion. And don’t forget to include reserves.

Also, update your Risk Register to include any new risks identified during the development of your resource loaded schedule and budget.
