The world as we know it has changed and continues to evolve and ADDIE is
no longer an adequate standalone tool for use by Instructional Designers. Van Rooij
(2010) affirms that in the digital age, instructional designers must possess both a

Brandon (2004) states that instructional design and project management are
systems but they do not map directly across one to the other. They complement
rather than duplicate. However Karumathil (2016) states that “project management

It must be emphasised that the project charter should not be confused with the
project scope statement. “It may be difficult to distinguish” between the two: although
different they both contain “some similar elements” (Rowley, 2013). According to
Rowley (2013), the project charter is “created at a high level” when seeking project
sponsor approval for a project and includes a general description of the scope
among other elements (e.g. cost, time and risk). In contrast, the project scope
statement includes a more detailed description of the scope and is created during
the planning phase of the project (Rowley, 2013). Each element generally described
management plan (e.g. cost management plan, time management plan and risk
management plan).

Disclaimer: Be advised that these charters are only examples; charter styles and
requirements vary based on the nature of the project and organizational standards.
The charter below is a sample of a charter created for the instructional design
project. It aligns with the ADDIE Instructional model. The brief explanation that
precedes the sample charter is designed to assist you in understanding how the
instructional design project phases may align with the project management
phases.
[Planning: Design: The activities at this phase outline what will be done
throughout the project, and how it will be done. For instructional design it will
involve developing the lesson and selecting instructional strategies that will best
deliver the stated objectives. For project management it is here that the various
plans are developed for example, the scope management plan, cost management
plan, risk management plan, quality management plan etc.]
[Closeout: Evaluate: Here is where the project activities end and the key
successes of the project are noted as well as the lessons learned. Instructional
designers will assess client satisfaction. Instructional designers will also conduct
assessments on the content, the entire design process and materials.]
