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.

Write the purpose as one sentence a stranger could understand, then name the sponsor and project manager on the team slide.
Replace the objectives with measures that have a baseline, a target and a date, and list what is out of scope using the requests you have already heard.
Set the budget and tolerance figures to match your delegated authority, and update the scorecard and milestone dates.
Delete the Make it yours slide, collect signatures with the date and version, then share or present the charter.
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.
No. Fallowfield Works, every person and all figures are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own project details before you present.
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.
