1. Introduction
Purpose of the Project
The ABC Softwareproject charter documents and tracks information required by Courier-ABC to approve funding needed to complete the project. 
WEEK ONE
Project Management Process Group
In this project management process group  and we create project report according to these steps.
1. Project Initiation
2. Project Planning
3. Project Execution
4. Monitoring & Controlling
5. Project Closing
The charter includes the overview, risk management issues, resource management and justifications to assist Courier-ABC to decide whether or not to proceed or not to proceed with the project. 
2. What are some of the typical challenges project teams face during each of the five process groups?
These are the some typical challenges project teams face during each of the 5 process groups
Planning Challenges: This is a part guide the execution of the project, so the challenges are:
Getting a team contract an expected project scope 
A work breakdown structure Prioritized risks (this one can be broken down)
Executing Challenges Lack of inputs from internal consultants or client representatives Outsourcing from external experts 
Scope increment 
Cost increment 
Time Increment
Monitoring and Controlling Challenges Getting the scope, time, and cost closer to the initial plan Motivating team members about the project Getting feedback about the project
Closing Challenges: The result of the project must be approved for the client or sponsor.
 They were easy to find for each process of the product. The only thing is we forgot the initiating process. We face few challenges that may be faced for this process is correctly and including stakeholders of the project. Incorporating the correct people to kick off a project is an important step and can also be difficult involving all the right people and forgetting an important person or group. Also drafting a charter is another challenge faced in this first process. This consists of an overview of budget information, which the PM is, the objective, success criteria approach and some of the stakeholder’s information.
3. We believe inadequate skills required for the project is a crucial challenge to point out. As most of the project teams are built traditionally by the department and sometimes the members selected for the project lack skill required for the project leading to imbalances in building, coordinating and continuing the project.
Project  Budget:
The desired outcome of the project is the implementation of a modern web-based tracking and transaction system for the courier company Courier-ABC. The in-scope objectives of this project covers the design and development of the web-based software solution and its initial deployment to a data centre in Sydney where it will be hosted as a cloud based solution. The cost of the hardware responsible for hosting the solution in the data centre will be factored into the budget. Initial hardware budget estimates are approximately $115, 000 and will take up to 65 days to source and install. Outside the scope of this project are the ongoing maintenance costs and implementation of patches (although the software will be designed to be patchable)
 The training of about 6000 staff members in the operation, support and maintenance of the solution will occur over approximately 1.5 months at a cost of approximately $120, 000. The 
project will be undertaken by Melbourne staff (with the exception of developers based in Sydney and Brisbane), including developers, designers, testers and assistant project managers. Preliminary estimates of the project duration are less than 6 months. The estimated budget of the project is $500, 000. The deliverables of the project includes a hard disk containing the software solution to be hosted on the cloud and the training of the support staff in operation of the software solution.
Overview
Review Courier-ABC  is a courier company who wants to change their Present system to a web based system. Their courier tracking and transaction system needs to be upgraded to a web-based system which will ease the work flow and help with their logistics. Courier-ABC do not have their own data centre, so they will need a third party service for the deployment of their software. Courier-ABC have also outsourced hardware from different vendors. For the development of the software, the company will require developers, tester, assistant project managers and software module designers. The developer must possess certain skill sets. Additional resources required are provided at a pro-rata of $1000, and if extreme programming is required, developers can be flown in from Brisbane and Sydney. The objective is to finish the project within 6 months with a budget of $500, 000.

3.3 Major Deliverables 
The following table presents the major deliverables that the project’s product must meet in order for the project objectives to be satisfied. Major deliverable Deliverables Description Delivery of hardware 
Three HP blade servers, cabling, network switches and other hardware will be delivered to the data centre in Sydney.
 Software delivered on Hard Disk drive for deployment on cloud The software solution contained on the hard disk will be hosted on the blade servers installed in the data centre.
