Project Charter Template

5 page, fully editable Microsoft® Word document.

The most important document in the Project Initiation phase is the Project Charter. It's what you write once the project business case is approved.

You need this – it gives you the authority to act as project manager for the project. The Charter is your mandate to run the project and it’s the document that turns the project from an idea into an actual program of work, with allocated owners (and agreement on funding). Without it, your project doesn’t formally exist!

This template includes explanatory notes to help you complete it. Delete the notes, add your company's logo and everyone will think you created it yourself!

This is a comprehensive Project Charter template to help you map out your project, explain what it is you want to do and gain approval for your plans.

The Project Charter template covers:

• Objectives
• Success criteria
• Project scope
• Financial information
• Project team information
• Structure and governance details.

Plus the other sections you need to clearly define what is going to be done and get everyone on the same page. There are notes to explain what you should put in each section.
