Overview

A charter only works if everyone hears the same scope and the same limits. This project charter presentation gives sponsors twelve slides to lead a launch meeting: the business reason, objectives with baselines, what is in and out of scope, the team, key dates, a success-measures scorecard and a clear approval ask with cost and schedule tolerances.

The sample follows Fallowfield Works launching a £640,000 project to merge three customer service desks into one, with a tolerance of plus or minus 10% on cost and 2 weeks on schedule. Replace the one-sentence purpose first, then the objectives and their baselines, the out-of-scope list, the budget and tolerances, and collect signatures.

Useful for

  • A sponsor launching a project at a kick-off meeting with the team and stakeholders in the room
  • A project manager presenting their mandate, tolerances and escalation limits for approval
  • A PMO stage-gate review that re-reads the charter to settle a dispute about scope

What's included

  • Cover and a why slide with the baseline problem and the reason to act now
  • Objectives in three columns with targets, plus four cards giving each baseline and measure
  • Scope table showing what is in and out, by phase, so disputes are settled in advance
  • Team slide with six named roles and a milestone timeline from approval to review
  • KPI scorecard with six measures, targets, progress and status
  • Approval slide stating cost and schedule tolerances, plus a Make it yours guide and contacts

Questions

Is this a project charter template for scrum teams as well?

Yes. Keep the purpose, objectives, scope and success measures, and replace the milestones with your sprint or release goals. The out-of-scope list is the most useful part.

Are the organisation, people and figures real?

No. Fallowfield Works, every person and all figures are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own project details before you present.

What tolerances should a charter state?

State the cost and schedule limits within which the project manager can act without escalating. The sample uses plus or minus 10% on cost and 2 weeks on schedule.
