The charter is a document that details the Who, When, What,
and Why of the project. While the concept brief was very high
level the charter is very specific and directed towards the
project team. One of the most important pieces of the charter
is that it must describe the final deliverable expected by
the customer.
It is the responsibility of the sponsor to create the charter,
but must of the time the project leader creates the charter.
Every project MUST HAVE a charter. Also, remember that
the Charter is a working document. As you progress on the
other phases of the project you need to go back to the charter
document and update the information. For example, we have
found that there was an area in the organization that needed
to be involved. Here you need to expand the team.
All charters must be approve by the sponsor or steering committee
that oversees the project. All the members or key players
of the project must be involve during the creation and sign
off of the project charter.
