About this project charter template

This project charter template provides a structured framework for authorising a project, establishing shared purpose, assigning accountability, and defining the conditions for controlled delivery. It includes dedicated sections for the executive project brief, scope and boundaries, governance and accountability, milestones and assumptions, and initial risk assessment with formal approval records.

Designed for project managers, sponsors, and steering groups, the template guides you through every stage of project initiation — from stating the strategic rationale and success measures to naming decision rights and escalation paths. All placeholder text, tables, and approval fields are fully editable so you can replace illustrative content with project-specific information.
