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.
The project charter is one of the first steps in the project planning process following completion of the project initiation phase. The project charter should not be confused with the business case. The business case should already be completed, and the investment decision to proceed with a project should be taken before a project charter.
