Project Initiation – Destination Wedding

The scenario: Destination Wedding- You have been tasked with creating a project to manage a destination wedding. You will be required to figure out the destination. You have been given a budget 25,000 dollars. You will have to determine all costs and resources. The project must be completed in six months.

Project Plan Template
Project managers work with project management plans tailored to each specific project. You will be using a Project Plan Template (attached) to complete project management tasks throughout this course, for the project you chose for this assessment. This will help you create the slides and I do need this returned to me. It is the proof my professor needs to show the work was done correctly.

Using the Project Plan Template as your guide, complete the following sections.

Project charter.
Project scope – Make sure you note what is not in scope for your project.
Stakeholder register
