Project Charter

The project charter is an important part of the project development. It is the first control ground for the project.

If the project doesn’t have a project charter, the project owner is missing a very important control of the project.

Having an approved project charter / brief means that the project manager and the board are:
1- Understand and agree the terms of reference of the project.
2- They are willing and able to commit their time to the direction of the project.
3- They agree to take joint ownership of the project.
4- They are willing to provide the project manager with the time and resources needed to plan the project in detail and to produce the Project Initiation Document.

Project Charter should cover all the key areas of the project giving details of:
1- Objectives
2- Scope Deliverables
3- Business Benefits
4- Assumptions
5- Constraints
6- Risks
7- Other Areas of Business Affected
8- Major Dependencies
9- Stakeholders
10- Resources
11- Outline estimates of time and cost
12- Project Governance
13- Projects Systems.

The above sections will dominate the basis of the project development and controls.
Updating them on time in each report is the core of transparency on the project status.

Any deviation or missed section creates high risk and is a sing of crack, which should be stopped by

Any deviation or missed section, creates high risk and is a sing of crack which should be controlled within the governance system.
