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.
Defining the Project Charter When you start a project, you must define what needs to be accomplished and decide how the project is going to proceed. Each project begins with an idea, a vision, or a business opportunity--and that is the starting point that must be associated with your organizationâs business objectives. The project charter is that starting point. The charter lays the foundation of the project. It includes a statement of your business's needs.
