A project charter is a critical document that provides written authorization for a task to either start or continue to move forward. It is sometimes known as a project authorization or project initiation form. Project charters are created and signed by high-level members of an external government agency, organization or sponsor that is funding the project, not a member of the project team.
Project definition (charter). Before you start a project, it is important to know the overall objectives of the project, as well as the scope, deliverables, risks, assumptions, project organization chart, etc. The project definition (or charter) is the document that holds this relevant information. The project manager is responsible for creating the project definition. The document should be approved by the sponsor to signify that the project manager and the sponsor are in agreement on these important aspects of the project.
