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.
In project management, a project charter, project definition, or project statement 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 terms of reference are usually part of the project charter.
