Project Charter Template
The project charter is a statement of the scope, objectives, and participants in a project. It provides a preliminary delineation of roles and responsibilities, outlines the project objectives, identifies the main stakeholders, and defines the project manager's authority. It serves as a reference of authority for the future of the project. You can download this document to see an example of a project charter.
