解説
問 41
Incorrectア
A schedule is a detailed plan produced in the planning process after the purpose has been approved in the charter, by breaking the work down (WBS) and estimating durations and sequence. At the startup point the work content is not yet fixed, so a schedule is not appropriate as content to include in the charter (at most only rough milestones would be written there).
Incorrectイ
The organizational structure (the project organization and staffing) is decided only after the required amount of work and the required skills become clear, so it is a human-resource planning matter. The charter goes only as far as appointing the project manager and defining that person's authority; an organization chart that includes the member composition is a deliverable of the planning stage, not core content of the charter.
Incorrectウ
A quality management plan defines quality standards, review and test methods, quality assurance procedures and the like, and it is one of the individual plans that make up the project management plan. It is created in the planning process after startup, so it is not content to be included in the charter, whose role is to approve the project and state its purpose.
- エ
正解 A project charter is a document created at the startup (beginning) of a project to declare that the project has been formally approved. It states the purpose and objectives of the project — the answer to «why are we doing this project» — the expected results, the high-level requirements, and the appointment of the project manager together with the authority granted to that person. The phrase in the question, «in order to comprehensively manage and coordinate the project's activities», also refers to setting an overall direction that runs through the whole project, not to the details of individual tasks. Therefore the appropriate content to include in the charter is «エ The purpose of the project». Only when the purpose is clear can the later detailed plans, such as the schedule and the organizational structure, be drawn up without drifting off course.
ここがポイント
- The project charter is a deliverable of the initiating process: a document that states the formal approval, purpose, objectives and outline of the project, along with the appointment and authority of the project manager.
- Details such as the schedule, the organizational structure and the quality management plan belong to the «project management plan», which is created in the planning process after the charter is approved; they sit at a different level from the charter.
