Project Charter Comparison
16.1 General Project Information
Project Name: Laboratory Development Project
Location: Mechanical Engineering Building, University of Alberta,
Edmonton, Canada
Project Manager: Shannon MacDonald
16.2 Are there gaps in the deliverables
All required deliverables were met. However one of the desireables in the
project was not met. The desirable our team was unable to implement was the
move of the slurry pipeline located in MEC E 2-14
16.3 Project Charter Differences
In the project desirables of the project charter was the movement of a slurry
pipeline from MEC E 2-14 into the new lab. This was proposed by Dr. Lipset
with the understanding that this may not be a feasible move. We added it to our
list of desirables to analyze its practicality.
We did a quantitative analysis of the spacial requirements of the slurry line vs
the space available in the new lab as well as the other projects requirements in
terms of lab space and found that it was not feasible to move this item into the
new lab.
This was the only proposed movement from MEC E 2-14 thus if we removed the
slurry pipeline from documentation we were no longer required to include this
room in our plans for the move.
16.4 Gap Negotiated Terms
We met with the client and discussed the situation. We described the options
available to him. It was suggested that removing the slurry line would also lead
to improvements to time and cost of the schedule and budget. The client was
amenable to the situation and approved the change to the project scope.
16.5 Corrective Actions
This change led to an update of the following project deliverables: the
Intermediate report and the Final Report.
