Project Charter

A project charter is a brief, formal document that officially authorizes a project to begin and grants the project manager the authority to use organizational resources. It provides a high-level overview of the project’s purpose, objectives, scope, key stakeholders, and resource needs. The charter ensures everyone involved understands the project’s goals and boundaries before detailed planning starts.

Typically created during project initiation, the charter outlines essential elements such as project objectives, scope, roles, timeline, and budget. It acts as a guiding agreement between the project sponsor and team, helping to align expectations and keep the project on track throughout its lifecycle. Approval of the project charter signals the official start of the project.
