Read ProjectLibre—Project Management Software Alternative to Microsoft Project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/projectlibre/), and watch the Learn the Basics of ProjectLibre—Your Quick Start to Project Management With ProjectLibre (https://youtu.be/oiVnWX-J5Mo) video. You will be using this software throughout this course. Over the next five weeks, you will be working on a project of your choice, which will eventually become part of the Final Paper in which you create a project management life cycle. This week, you are in the project initiation stage of project management, where you will choose your project and propose it to the class. Come up with a project idea that you would like to complete during this class. You can start by downloading and completing the “attached template”. In this form, you will identify a clear project name, define the problem that you are trying to solve as a problem statement, and create a project charter statement. All I will need is this file returned. Additional project selection criteria: Your project must last at least two weeks. Your project team must have at least five members. Your project budge must be at least $5,000.
