- About the Project Charter
1.1 Project Authorization
The primary purpose of the project charter is for the allocation of resources and authorization to commence work. A project’s charter is typically evaluated against others and only select projects are authorized to proceed. Therefore, the charter should properly highlight the benefits of the project as well as potential risks.
1.2 Audience
The intended audience of the project charter is the decision makers who will allocate resources to the project. However, many others in the organization typically see the project charter as well including project team members, direct and indirect stakeholders, and staff in related groups and departments. The author should keep these additional viewers in mind when writing the charter.
