WGU C783 TASK 1 INITIATING AND
PLANNING THE PROJECT IT MSM WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Scenario
Refer to the "Merrilton Robotics Data Migration Scenario" in the Supporting Documents section
below.
Requirements
Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the
submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted
or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is
provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed
criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by
more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant
portions of the course.
Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides,
OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file
types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).
Initiating Process
Note: The PMBOK6 model should be used
A Describe the initiating process for the data migration project, which uses a
traditional methodology, by doing the following:
,1. Discuss the purpose of a project charter.
2. Develop a project charter for the cloud data migration project in the scenario.
3. Discuss two reasons why a project manager would choose a traditional (predictive)
methodology for this data migration project.
4. Discuss two reasons why a project manager would choose an agile (Scrum, Kanban, EP,
Lean) methodology for any project.
5. Discuss two reasons why a project manager would choose a hybrid (combines agile and
traditional) methodology for any project.

, Initiating Process 1. Purpose of a Project Charter
The project charter serves as a formal document that authorizes the existence of a project and
provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project
activities. It acts as a reference of authority throughout the project's lifecycle. The charter
includes key project details such as objectives, scope, stakeholders, and the overall project
framework, which helps align the expectations of stakeholders and team members.
2. Project Charter for Cloud Data Migration Project
Project Title: Cloud Data Migration Project
Project Start Date: [Start Date]
Projected End Date: [End Date]
Project Manager: [Project Manager's Name]
Purpose: To migrate existing data systems to a cloud-based infrastructure to improve
scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
Objectives:
• To successfully transfer all critical data to the cloud environment with zero data loss.
• To ensure minimal downtime during the migration process.
• To achieve improved data management and security in the cloud. Scope:
• Assessment of current data systems.
• Selection of cloud service provider.
• Data preparation and migration execution.
• Post-migration testing and validation. Stakeholders:
• Internal IT team
• Cloud service provider
• End-users of the data systems
• Company leadership Resources:
• Budget: [Specify Amount]
• Personnel: [List Key Team Members]
• Technology: [List Software/Hardware Resources] Risks:
• Potential data loss or corruption
• Downtime affecting business operations
• Security vulnerabilities during transfer
3. Reasons for Choosing Traditional Methodology
• Predictability: A traditional methodology offers a structured approach with clear
milestones and deliverables, which can be crucial for projects with well-understood
requirements and where predictability of the outcome is essential.
