Identify what the project is, why the project exists, who is involved in the project, when the project will start and stop, and how the project will interact within the organization.

The purpose of a Project Charter is to authorize the creation of a project that will solve a business problem. Generally, this document will identify what the project is, why the project exists, who is involved in the project, when the project will start and stop, and how the project will interact within the organization.

The Project Charter also provides preliminary definitions of the critical roles required to ensure successful project delivery, including the Project Sponsor’s responsibilities and the Project Manager’s responsibilities. The Project Charter is one of the first pieces of documentation created and will identify project success indicators, in-scope and out-of-scope items, and project assumptions and risks.
