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.
To gain support and cooperation for projects, a project manager must obtain a project charter that has been signed off by the projectâs sponsor. The project charter, developed in the initiating process of a project, is a formal document issued by the projectâs sponsor that authorizes the project and the project manager. A project charter dramatically reduces the risk of a project being cancelled due to lack of support or perceived value to the company.
