Project Charter Template

Don't start from scratch... Use our Project Charter Template.

Like building a house, the foundation of a successful project is critical to your success. A well thought out and documented Project Charter should be the foundation of every project. It should capture at a high-level all aspects of a project. The Project Charter should be distributed to your project team, stakeholders, and sponsors, ensuring everyone is working towards the same goals.

After reading your Project Charter, the audience will have a good understanding of your project objectives, scope, deliverables, schedule, risks, and approach. The Project Charter Template weve provided will help you quickly and systematically document the right level of detail for a wide audience of team members and stakeholders.

After describing the project (opportunity, vision, scope, deliverables, etc.), our Project Charter Template contains several sections in which you can describe how your project will be organized. These sections include Team Structure, Roles & Responsibilities, Facilities, Resources, and more.

Features of our Project Charter Template:

• Clean, graphically appealing interface
• Embedded Visio object for creating a project org. chart
• Define the opportunity from a business perspective
• Concise method for documenting the project scope, deliverables, and schedule
• Analysis of project risks and mitigation strategies
• Project team structure, including roles and responsibilities
• Definition of required resources, including facilities
• Microsoft Office 2007, 2003, and 2000 compatible
