Theproject charter(or project brief) is a high-level document created during theinitiation phaseof a project, as defined byPMBOK(Project Management Body of Knowledge). It outlines the project’s purpose, objectives, scope, and key elements but does not includedetailed planning(A), which occurs during the planning phase after the charter is approved. The charter typically includes:
High-level risks (B):Identifies major risks to provide early awareness.
Summary budget (C):Provides an initial cost estimate for approval.
Quality expectations (D):Defines high-level quality requirements or standards.
Detailed planning, such as creating a detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) or schedule, is part of the project management plan developed later, not the charter.
