Components of a Project Charter

As you read this chapter, notice how the project charter defines the preliminary scope, schedule, and budget for the project, effectively paying out the project's anticipated "triple constraint".

Chapter Objectives

This chapter focuses on developing the project charter and project plan. After studying this chapter, you should understand and be able to:

  • Describe the five project management processes and how they support each phase of the project life cycle.
  • Define the project management knowledge area called project integration management and describe its role in project plan development, project plan execution, and overall change control.
  • Develop a project charter and describe its relationship to the project plan.
  • Identify the steps in the project planning framework introduced in this chapter and describe how this framework links the project's measurable organizational value (MOV) to the project's scope, schedule, and budget.
