Project Charter

Oliver F. Lehmann

The Project Charter, or Project Definition, is a statement of the scope, objectives and participants in a project. It provides a preliminary delineation of roles and responsibilities, outlines the project objectives, identifies the main stakeholders, and defines the authority of the project manager. It serves as a reference of authority for the future of the project.

The purpose of the project charter is to document:

  • Reasons for undertaking the project
  • Objectives and constraints of the project
  • Directions concerning the solution
  • Identities of the main stakeholders

The attached template can be used as a guideline in developing your own Project Charter.

  • "  There were a number of very useful discussions about different topics.  "

  • "  I was very happy with the setting of the course. Having never attended CMC previously, I was unsure of what to expect. I especially like the way we worked in different workgroups and got to know the other attendees and find that our working concerns were quite similar. The CMC office staff was very pleasant and very accommodating.  "

  • "  Frank´s personal stories and examples added true-life experiences to the course material.  "
