GENERAL PROCESS55Project Charter (PMBOK® 4.1, Develop Project Charter)

What:

Developing a high-level formal project description to launch a project.

When:

Project initiation and planning.

Results:

A reference document used to guide project planning and staffing.

A project charter is a formatted collection of information assembled as a part of project initiation or soon afterward. Because projects may differ, this documentation may also be known as a:

• Project definition document

• Project datasheet

• Proposal

• Reference specification

• Statement of work

• Plan of record

Whatever the project description documentation is called, the important thing is for it to be written down.
