Project Charter

A Project Charter in project integration management is a formal document that authorizes the existence of a project and provides a high-level overview of its objectives, scope, stakeholders, and key deliverables. It serves as a foundational document that defines the project's purpose, aligns it with organizational goals, and establishes the project manager's authority.

The Project Charter typically includes the following information:

4. Key Stakeholders

5. Project Manager and Authority

6. High-Level Project Timeline

7. Initial Resource Requirements

8. Risks and Constraints

9. Project Success Criteria

10. Approval and Signatures

The Project Charter sets the foundation for the project, providing clarity, direction, and authorization. It ensures a common understanding among stakeholders, establishes project boundaries, and provides a framework for subsequent project planning and execution. The Charter serves as a reference point throughout the project, helping to align activities, manage changes, and evaluate project success against defined objectives.

The Project Charter is essential in project integration management due to the following requirements:

1. Project Authorization and Governance

The Charter facilitates stakeholder engagement, defines the project manager's authority, enables effective resource allocation, identifies risks, establishes project success criteria, and provides a foundation for project planning. It serves as a key reference document throughout the project lifecycle, supporting project integration and successful project execution.
