0.1. Document Purpose
The primary purposes of the Project Charter are to formally establish the existence of the project; give the project manager authority; and establish the goals and objectives of the project.
The Project Charter provides the high-level definition of the project to facilitate understanding between all project participants. It provides a mechanism to communicate a common understanding of the project scope and the context under which the project is being undertaken. It represents what the Client and the Service Provider agree to have delivered during the term of the project and the project methodology that is to be undertaken. The degree of detail provided in the Project Charter will be based on the size and impact of the project.
