A project charter sets the expectations of a project so that all stakeholders are in the loop with the purpose of the project, the scope, success criteria, deliverables, budget, risks, team, etc. It's an important document for the beginning stages of any project. It helps ensure that there were approvals before a project is started.
Project charters are important to put down all the work that a project entails, the budgets needs, the timelines, the team, the risks and more. By having everything written down, it helps ensure that the project has been analyzed and thought through from every angle. It provides time for the stakeholders to ask additional questions and adjust the project requirements before giving their approvals.
