WRITING THE PROJECT CHARTER

Having a good description of the project at the outset is essential to project success. Simply put, without a description of even the most simple aspects of the project, it will be difficult to complete the project efficiently and successfully.

Without knowing the nature of the product or service the project is meant to deliver, the project will lack a necessary focus. Knowing the project sponsor's objectives and the value the sponsor expects the project to deliver is essential when it comes to directing the project toward success. A good project charter clarifies these points and more.
