Steps to writing a project charter Choose a project name. Identify the purpose, objective (goal), and project specification. Set a budget. Define deliverables. Assess scope and risks. Create a timeframe or milestones. List key stakeholders. Layout team roles and responsibilities.

A contract is a legal agreement between two parties or separate organizations, while a project charter is a document that formally acknowledges the existence of the project. Additionally, a project charter is not a legally binding agreement.

A project charter should only include three elements: your project objectives, scope, and responsibilities. Once your charter has been approved, you should then create a project plan. Your project plan builds on your project charter to provide a more in-depth blueprint of the key elements of your project.

You may need to update your project charter if there are changes in the project scope, objectives, deliverables, schedule, budget, resources, or stakeholders. Updating your charter ensures that your project reflects the current reality and expectations of your project team and sponsor.

Without a collectively agreed to charter, there may be frequent disruptions and disagreements from stakeholders. They will have differing intentions, opinions and understanding of the project's outcomes. Risk of failure. When there is no clear, recorded statement of a project's goals, it's more prone to fail.

Project Sponsor authorizes the Project Charter, but the Project Manager can create it. Project Stakeholders should approve every Project Charter. Once the Project Charter is approved, it cannot be changed throughout the project life cycle.
