Description
Why it is useful
A project charter documents some of the most important inputs to the planning phase and facilitates alignment between stakeholders. It also serves as a “contract” between the person doing the planning and the project sponsor and steering group (if available).
How to use it
1. Establish this document to mark the start of the project.
2. Appropriate people should approve it to authorise you to use resources to plan the project.
3. Use this project charter template as a benchmark to update your own template or document that you already have.
In this project charter template, instructions and/or explanations are included using blue italic texts such as these. Instructions and explanations should be removed before review of the document.
All texts that are not blue are example texts that can and should be edited by you. Texts that most certainly should be replaced or updated are identified by the { and } characters. They should be removed and the example text customised to work with the current project.
