3 Team charter
3.1 Preface
The team charter of HotelWare Cloud System project aims to set the
principles that all the team members should follow throughout the
whole project. It can be benefit from four main aspects, including
clarifying the team’s aim and purpose, establishing a shared vision of
a success project, aligning roles and responsibilities of team member
and clearing up lines of communication between team members and
outside stakeholders (Knutson, 2015).
All the project team members should strictly comply with the team
charter. This is one of the critical prior condition to insure the success
of this project.
• Client acceptance. The act of “selling” the final project to its ultimate
intended users (Pinto & Slevin, 1988).
• Set objectives.
• Set an Agenda.
• To, Cc: Always make sure email the right people in the right way.
The To field is for people that this email information directly affected
and is responsible to give you feedback. The Cc is for people in loop
who only to keep informed but do not need to act or reply (Biagio,
2011).
• Style: Use brief sentences that catch the point directly. Put
important information at the very beginning. Use as many line and
paragraph breaks as possible.
• Format: Don’t abuse the format by using icons, flashing text, etc.
Use bold to highlight key point in the email. Use larger text for
headlines.
• Avoid the Cry-Wolf scenario. This is means avoid frequent and un-
necessary escalation.
• Keep focused. Keep your escalation focused to the specific issue and
only make one escalation at a time.
The main idea about the project success criteria from the project
manager point of view is the completion of project on time and also
within the budget already stated ( Project Sucess Criteria, 2017). In
the NiteRest hotel Project the success criteria can be defined as the
project completion according to the expectation of the Executive
Director, HAKA 1, with in time scheduled for the project and within
the budget allocated for the project.
The main success factors are the contribution of management
towards the project development ( Project Sucess Criteria,2017).
• All the Hotel staff should be trained to use the new software system
otherwise there will be stress.
• New system should meet all the needs and expectation of all the staff
members.
• Developed Software should meet all the Hotel needs for billing and
all other involved stuff.
• In the long run the “Guest” should feel easy to use the system for
booking and other facilities with new implemented software.
To encapsulate, one can say that a project is a success with all the
stated factors most importantly the time span of completion and
within budget. But also a strong willed, friendly Project Manager and
enthusiastic team members should be the back bone of every
Successful Project.
