Summary: Purpose of project charter. 1) Introduce people to the project (documented onboarding) 2) Align on important aspects on project( scope, objectives, budget). 3) Obtain approval to proceed with project plan. Shouldn't not be very detailed. No more than 5 pages. Project chart is very important to align the expectations of client with project plan to be executed by operator. 1) Background a. Why the project is a good idea? New strategic direction or what benefits? 2) Scope of work i. Attributes of end products ii. Actions needed to deliver the finals. iii. Define the boundaries of project. You can mentioned Out-of- Scope activities. 3) Objectives i. Should be measurable (part of SMART) 4) Governance a. Introduce teams from both sides and their roles. b. General understanding of the timeline. 5) Section of costs - budget - payment plan? 6) Constraints, Assumptions, Risks and Dependencies. The creation of the charter should be done both by project manager and the sponsor and the team. Preferably all in a conference room, to capture all views and opinions reflecting them on the charter. The discussion had can be more important than just producing a product charter document. At minimum, send the draft to the sponsor and get feedback and signatures.

10 years later and still one of the best informative videos regarding Project charter! Great work @PMPerspective

Thank you for clearing the fog from my head. I was so confused before I saw this video!

So great! This video really helped me break down the simple process of creating a project charter. All the other resources I was using to learn seemed to overly complicate this process, and as such a key moment to a project, I really needed this clarity. The vocab breakdown helped, as did the various examples given for each step. Appreciate the templates, as well! Thanks, for making PM life a little easier for this newbie!

Thanks a lot Jason for a concise explanation about project charter. I found it very helpful.

I have really learned a lot especially that I am new to project management. Straight to the point and provides junior project managers with everything they need to know before drafting a project charter.

One of the best videos for PMs, very clear and informative! Cheers!

I'm really appreciate the effort of your team to create a great video like this. Only excellent guys can explain the difficult/ complicated things in simple and easy way to understand.

Really loved this video. I am in the entertainment industry so I know very little about software/computer building project types, with the exception of my PMP classes. These videos include examples easier to understand than any other videos I have found. Recommend!!!

Thank you for that video! Good suggestion to engage key stakeholders in creating a project charter together! And obviously, the general purpose of the doc is to authorize a pm to work and make decisions on the project, and to kick it off.

Thank you so much!!! These information helped me a lot when I was stressing about our project charter!!!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful. I am in a Project management class and I have been given the role of the PM for this project. My group will definitely find this helpful.

Well done. This is one of the best, most concise explanations of the purpose and development of project charters I have seen.

Thanka Jason Sir. This is first attempt to learn about project charter..and your teaching helped me in understanding it completely in the first attempt itself..

Honestly one of the best brief information about PM in youtube, the way of explaining, the rhythm of speaking all of the highest class. please do more videos, God bless you.

Excellent video! Been tasked to write a project charter for work. I had never even heard of a project charter since before yesterday but I think I have a basic grasp. Thank you so much!

Jason, Thanks for a great video. This was really useful to share with a Project Sponsor and Stakeholders in describing why we needed to collaborate on creating the Project Charter document.

I greatly appreciated this video. Jason stated things clearly and concisely making the video very easy to follow and understand. Hate it was the speaker gets to wordy. Great follow with the free template access. Well done folks!! Thank you very much.

This is an excellent straightforward way to start a project. Thank you!

This video tutorial has been very useful. It has clearly described the Charter with examples for better understanding

Thank you for this video. I am taking Project Management 101 class, and this lecture is linked in our course module.

Thank you! This was really helpful for someone with no PM experience whatsoever

Great and simple way to understand a Charter. Thanks, Jason

The video provides a clear, easily understandable explanation of Project Charters. As someone with no formal PM training, this video was more beneficial to me than some other resources that I have tried to use.

This really help me in my future project engagement. Thanks a lot

It is refreshing to come across tools like this that offer explanations in simple English

Great video. Thank you. Most of them drone on in monotone... This made it sound simple and understandable. Giving examples especially were great. Thanks again.

Simple, illustrative, and concise. Thanks!

This video is so so useful and helpful towards my project management course. Thank you for taking the time to create this and put this up

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it clear and concise.

Thanks a million, compressed, concise and the temple is good!

Thank you so much ! I missed this class and this has helped me in my assignment ! Clear , simple and interesting ! :)

Super helpful! I will most definitely follow your advice!

Found this video to be very helpful when completing my assignment, thank you !

Thank you for this video. I'm glad that u created it. I was in search of project management related videos. However I could only find videos for pmp exams preparation. This will help me to understand the fundamentals.

Thank you for this video! I have never ever created a project charter (had no idea what one was until yesterday), as I am not a project manager by any means, however I have been asked to create one. Watching this video has helped me tremendously and I feel like I have the knowledge to go ahead and create one now. Thanks again!

This Video is pretty detailed with examples that makes you see through the "blurry screen". Really helpful. I think why some project managers tend to prepare the project charter themselves is because: 1. They have a fair idea of the project scope, objectives and execution process 2. Sometimes getting people to sit down and discuss a project charter may be time consuming. I will advocate that the discussion be moved to project plan preparation phase

This video was very pointed, that is ,right to the point and extremely simple and helpful.

The content was really helpful. The way you explained it made it so simple.
