What is a Project Charter and who documents it?

Project Charter is a high- level document that authorizes Project Manager to utilize resources for project activities. This document contains project purpose, success criteria, project requirements, key stake holders, name of the sponsor who authorized the project. It is developed by sponsor in collaboration with project manager.

What is the process of developing a Project Charter?

Project Charter is developed using numerous techniques that help in providing a broad overview of project. Subject matter experts with good experience and knowledge help in identifying risks, budget estimation and organizational strategy. Brainstorming sessions quickly help in generating ideas and analyzing them in a group setting. Focus groups are discussions involving stakeholders and subject matter experts in order to identify risks, success criteria etc. One-on-one interviews are also used to establish acceptance criteria. If there is disagreement conflict management, facilitation and meetings help with resolving the issue at hand.
