This document is a Project Charter for an expansion project undertaken by GroceryCo, as part of the SCM 345 Principles of Operations Management course at Boise State University. It outlines the foundational elements of a market research initiative focused on potential expansion into Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado.
This assignment is intended for students learning about project initiation and scope definition within a supply chain context. It’s used to apply concepts of project planning, stakeholder identification, and risk assessment to a real-world business scenario. The charter serves as a decision-making tool for GroceryCo regarding market entry.
This Project Charter does *not* contain the full market research data, detailed financial projections, or a complete implementation plan. It establishes the framework for the project, but further analysis and execution are required beyond this document.
This document provides a project title, sponsor information, start and finish dates, budget overview, key personnel, the project’s purpose and objectives, success criteria, a list of stakeholders, a high-level approach to the research, and a list of authorized resources. It also includes a brief summary of the project’s intent. Appendix 7B, referenced within the budget information, is not included in this preview.
