Create a Project Charter for your Personal Project 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 ?Background info on organization, history of the problem / business need ?Objectives – the solution to the need, success criteria ?Benefits of the solution ?Scope statement - major deliverables, specific out-of-scope items. ?Business case – is the project worth doing? Financial justification. •Approach ?Major milestones or events schedule ?Impact on other projects or systems ? Critical assumptions, and constraints ?Process for change control •Resources ?Identify Sponsor, Stakeholders, Project team Roles & responsibilities ?Other material resource needs •Known risks at the outset •Acceptance criteria – how will we know when it’s done and accepted by the •Time and cost estimates – budget
