FAQs

A project charter is a formal document written during the initial stage of a project life cycle that provides an overview of the most important aspects. These aspects entail critical success factors and project requirements that will be worked on throughout the project timeline by designated project team members. It’s often an essential piece of the project planning puzzle and can be customized to your company’s individual needs with FigJam’s sample project charter template.

Project managers and leaders work together to create a project charter document with the intent of clearly explaining its key elements, including but not limited to the project’s objectives, scope, key stakeholders and their roles, budgetary restraints, key milestones, risks, and the project’s intended benefits or outcomes. Not only does it lay out the important information for those already involved to move forward, but it’s also used to convince potential stakeholders who are still on the fence.
