Description

Projects often lose momentum before delivery begins because the purpose, scope, ownership and measures are unclear. This course shows you how to build a practical Project Charter that aligns stakeholders and gives the team a credible basis for action.


You will learn how to define the need for the project, describe the objective and establish boundaries that prevent uncontrolled scope growth. The course covers the people who should be involved, their roles and responsibilities, the principal risks and assumptions, the expected timeline and the measures that will be used to judge success.


A Project Charter is more than an approval document. When it is concise and actively used, it helps leaders make an informed decision, gives the project team a shared reference point and makes disagreements visible before they become delivery problems. You will learn what belongs in the Charter, what should be handled elsewhere and how to present the information clearly.


A realistic scenario and step-by-step demonstration show how the sections are developed into one coherent document. You can follow the example or apply the structure to a project of your own.


By the end of the course, you will be able to produce and present a complete Project Charter covering purpose, scope, stakeholders, ownership, risk, timing and success measures, ready for review and project launch.

Who this course is for:

  • New and aspiring project managers preparing to launch a project.
  • Project sponsors and team leaders who need a clear approval document.
  • Business analysts and change professionals defining project scope and ownership.
  • Operations managers turning improvement ideas into structured projects.
