Project Charter Template

Download this Project Charter Template to formally define a project’s purpose, business justification, objectives, high-level scope, stakeholders, responsibilities, and authority before detailed planning and execution begin.

Designed for project managers, sponsors, PMOs, and business leaders, this editable project charter provides a structured framework for establishing why the project exists, what it is expected to accomplish, who is involved, and the boundaries within which the project will operate.

Use the template to document project background and justification, business objectives, high-level requirements and scope, sponsorship, project leadership, key stakeholders, assumptions, expectations, and other foundational information needed to establish shared understanding at project initiation.

A clear project charter helps reduce ambiguity at the beginning of a project, align stakeholders around expected outcomes, establish project-manager authority, and provide a foundation for subsequent project planning and governance.

Created by experienced project management professionals for practical project initiation, stakeholder alignment, and governance.
