Project Charter
Project me
This Charter formally authorizes a project to improve my health in 2013.
The purpose of Project Me is to improve my overall health and happiness by getting my blood sugar and triglycerides under control and losing at least 10% of my body weight. This project meets my need for a more happy life by removing health issues that contribute to my depression and keep me from trying new things (like Zumba and kayaking). The project deliverables shall include: fasting blood sugar reading below 130 mg/dL, triglycerides reading less than 150 mg/dL, body weight at or below 220 pounds and an improved quality of life as perceived by me.
I will be the Project Manager for this project and it will be my responsibility to communicate with all health care professionals, mental health specialists, and weight loss organizations, as required, to ensure successful and timely completion of the project. I will also be responsible for developing the project plan, monitoring the schedule and scope of the project during implementation, and maintaining control over the project by measuring performance and taking corrective action.
A completed project plan will be developed and submitted to the readers of Do you have that in my size??? by January 6, 2013. Work on the project will start immediately upon publication of the project plan. Once the project commences, work on the project will be performed according to the plan and progress reports will be published to Do you have that in my size??? not less than three (3) times per week. Important milestones include attending Blissdom conference (March 21-23 – weight at or below 239 pounds), hosting San Diego County’s hospitality suite at the American Legion state convention (June 26-30 – weight at or below 233 pounds), my 46th birthday (October 12 – weight at or below 226 pounds), and New Year’s Eve (December 31 – weight at or below 220 pounds).
