Project Charter for Video Game Delivery Project
Prepared by: Larry Gusto
Date: Oct. 3, 2009
Project Title: Video Game Delivery
Project Start Date: October 1, 2009 Projected Finish Date: October 1, 2010
Budget Information: $500,000.00
Project Manager: Larry Gusto, 410.123.4567., killerinstincts@ymail.com
Project Objectives: The Video Game Delivery project involves developing a web-based
application and support structure to provide customers with video games on a monthly
rental basis. Members will be able to use the application to order video games online,
receive the games via express mail, return those games via express mail, and keep
receiving additional games. Only sports and educational games will be stock as market
research suggested, but games would be available for all types of platforms, including
popular gaming systems, computers, and learning systems used in preschools and
elementary school. The web application will include international services, providing
information and products in several different languages. The system must be very userfriendly, providing customers the ability to search for specific games by platforms, age
and gender appropriateness, customer reviews, sport (for sport-related games),
language and so on. Customers must be able to order the video games, track delivery
and return of video games, pay online or via other methods (including credit or debit
card, check, school payment systems, other electronic payment system, etc.) and write
reviews of the games they rent. The system must be also be able to track referrals to
the site from corporate partners and customers, display advertisements, and track
customer usage patterns.
Approach:
 Develop survey to determine critical features of the online service
 Research internal laws and regulations for shipping and receiving merchandize to
international address
 Research middleware to leverage express mail applications for tracking
merchandize
