A Project Charter is a document that presents the objectives, schedule, costs and potential risks of a future project and lists the stakeholders involved. It is a key asset in the project management process and helps improve both project planning and execution.
The Project Charter can also act as a contract between the project sponsor, key stakeholders, and the project manager. In Customer Relationship Management the Project Charter is referred to as Project Definition Report.
