Project Charter Template

Start every project with a clear, signed-off agreement on what you're doing and why.

This one-page Project Charter template covers everything a sponsor needs to say yes:

- Purpose & business need: the problem, and what happens if nothing changes

- Objectives & success criteria: measurable, with dates

- In scope / out of scope: what will and won't be delivered

- Milestones: the 3–6 dates that matter

- Budget estimate & assumptions

- Key stakeholders & roles: sponsor, PM, approvers

- Constraints & high-level risks

- Sponsor sign-off line

Print it, or fill it in on screen. It fits on a single letter-size page.

It's the first artifact in the 5-phase project lifecycle covered in Episode 1 on the Scope & Scale YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/WUuImM3xqcw
