Instructions

The format and content of a Project Charter varies from organization to organization. Larger organizations have a PMO (Project Management Office.) Typically, the PMO dictates a standard format and content of key project deliverables, such as a Project Charter.

If you work for an organization that has a standard template for a Project Charter (or, perhaps they refer to it as a “Statement of Work”), feel free to use your organization’s format. Otherwise, please use the Project Charter template provided by your instructor.

The Project Charter should include the following sections:

Description and Scope
