What Is a Project Charter? A Project Charter is a formal, concise document that outlines the project's objectives, scope, stakeholders, timelines, and overall strategy. It serves as a foundational reference point for all stakeholders involved in the project, including team members, sponsors, and management. Download This Template Now! Project Charter Template PPT About Project Charters The inception of every project is a Project Charter. In the Initiation phase, the Project Charter is issued by the project sponsor, and it defines the existence of the project. It captures high-level project planning details like business need, scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, and required resources. The Charter is an important document that gives the project manager the authority to commence the project and acquire the required resources to support the project activities. In some cases, the project charter is signed off by the Project Sponsor, while in some others, there may be a group of approvers (all stakeholders) who need to sign off for the document to be considered approved. Once approved by the defined approvers, it cannot be changed or modified unless agreed by all the parties involved. This Project Charter Template/document helps identify the project's major stakeholders and sets clear expectations on the project goals. It is used as a reference document throughout the project. Why Do We Need a Project Charter? Do not underestimate the value of a project charter as just yet another management document. Having a project charter template PPT provides your project with the following benefits: Formally authorizes the project. Creates a vision and a shared understanding of the project. Empowers the project manager to lead the project. Identifies the high-level objectives and scope of the project. Defines what will success look like. Enables support for the project to be gained. Ensures that key stakeholders are aware of the project. Secures budget and resources for the project. Serves as a point of reference for the project team. Download This Template Now! Project Charter Template What Should a Good Project Charter Contain? While most project management methods and frameworks prescribe the use of a project charter of some sort – either called one-pager, charter, or mandate -, there is no defined composition for its template. However, a principle to consider is that any good Project Charter will help you clarify the What, Why, Who, When, and at What Cost of the project. According to the PMBOK® Guide, these are covered by the following sections in a Project Charter: Project Information: Includes the ID and name of the project, name of the project manager, and project sponsor Business need, problem, or opportunity: What is the main driver for this project to exist? What is the context from which it was born? Project Objectives and Benefits: What are you trying to achieve with the project? Try writing your objectives as SMART objectives – specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bounded Project Organization: Describes the governance of the project, including key roles for its management and direction High-level project scope: At a very high-level, the project charter should be able to outline the boundaries of the project, i.e., what will be in scope and out of the project's scope, as well as key deliverables to be created by the project. High-level project timescale: At a very high-level, the project charter should list the key stages and estimated duration for the project and its key milestones. High-level project budget: At a very high-level, the project charter should identify the project's budget requirements, including capital and revenue expenditure forecast. Key assumptions: Main assumptions that may impact the project if proven false Key project risks: Main risks that may impact the project if they materialize Success criteria: Key measures to assess the success of the projectTo make your life easier, I’ve produced a simple project charter template that you can download here. Ready to use! Best Practices when Writing a Project Charter Writing a Project Charter can be time-consuming, particularly if not done properly; thus, here’s a couple of tips to help you steer your project towards success from its very beginning: Keep it brief: Trust me, the more pages a document contains, the less chance it will get read. Try to keep your Project Charter simple and brief. After all, it should capture key, high-level information! Be explicit: No one cares or is enthusiastic about a vague summary of a project. Get to the point as early as possible and make it explicit. Build it with your sponsor: While theory advises that the Charter should be handed over by the project sponsor to the project manager, in reality, it is often the project manager to writes the Project Charter with the support of the Sponsor. Whatever the model, the involvement of the sponsor is fundamental. Get it signed-off: Until you get the Charter signed-off by your sponsor, the project is not formally authorized. No Charter, no project. Share it: One of the main benefits of a Charter is that you can gain support from the project and ensure a shared understanding of what the project is about. Be proud to share your Charter with your team and key stakeholders! Looking for PM jobs? Here is the one-stop destination Project Charter Word Template About Project Charter Template PPT Project Title: This field specifies the name of the project. Project Start and End Date: This field specifies the timeline to complete the project. Project Manager: This field indicates the project manager who has the authority to execute the project. Project Sponsor: This field indicates the Project Sponsors who have initiated the project. Business Need: This field captures the need for initiating the project. It helps to understand and specify WHY the project is being undertaken. Project Scope: This field defines activities that are within the scope of the project. Items that are out of scope can also be mentioned in this field to set clear expectations. Deliverables: Every project undertaken will result in a tangible or intangible outcome. This field indicates the deliverables/goals that are expected to be achieved by this project. Risks and Issues: Very often, major risks and issues foreseen at the beginning of the project are indicated in this field. For, e.g., Delays due to Data Dependencies on external teams, personnel working on the project proceeding on planned leave resulting in a delay in the project timelines. Assumptions and Dependencies: Very often, assumptions and dependencies are made at the start of the project when certain events are expected to occur during the course of the project, which may result in a delay of the project timelines. Project activities that are dependent on each other need to be clearly stated in this field. For, e.g., Data discrepancy may be an assumption where large amounts of data are involved, dependencies on Infrastructure teams for the hardware. Milestones Schedule: This field indicates the major milestones the project aims to accomplish and the target completion date for each milestone. The charter can track the progress of the milestones against the target dates mentioned in the document. Budget/Financials: Every project has a set budget, and this field specifies the cost that will be incurred to undertake this project. Project Team: States the personnel/members required to work on the project, including the sponsor, project manager, and other required resources. Approval Committee: Every project charter needs to be approved by a defined set of approvers, including the sponsor and other stakeholders. A project charter is considered approved once signed off by all the approvers. To summarize, as per the Project Management guidelines, the project charter template PPT is a document that formally authorizes a project giving the project manager the authority to execute the project and obtain the required resources. This is a point-in-time document signed by all stakeholders and can be used as a baseline for future project changes. The Project Charter is the key document in the Initiation phase of a project. It is the first opportunity that the project manager has to build the right foundations for the project. Grab the chance to cause a great first impression with a great Project Charter!

We have begun our unit on living systems in science (thank GOSH because Earth and Physical science have quite literally killed me this year...seriously, I feel like the most incompetent teacher when I teach science...but I digress...). Our main focus for the past week before Spring Break was the circulatory and respiratory systems. I thought I would share some of the things we have been doing, in case some of you are in the same unit yourselves. To get us started, we watched a few BrainPOP videos about circulation and blood. I found these in the HEALTH section, not the science section. The kids were very enthralled with these videos (they ALWAYS are really) There was quite a lot of information in them, which got us started on the right foot. The videos mentioned how the circulatory system was the delivery system of the body and that all systems were connected to this one. After some discussion, the students created this Circulation Data Disk from the Easy Make & Learn Projects: Human Body (Grades 2-4) (affiliate link) book. The idea of this circular disk was to show how all of the organs in the body played a very special part in relation to the circulatory system. I purposefully whited out the info on the disk so that the kids could do the research themselves. Using our health and science books, the students discovered the role of each organ in circulatory system. We then used the Easy Make & Learn Projects: Human Body (Grades 2-4) (affiliate link) book and created a model of the heart. The kids diagrammed the model to up the rigor a bit. They then placed these in their science journals. Another great find (that the kids had a blast playing) was the Circulation Game from Ellen McHenry's homeschooling website. This is a free download and I am so glad I found it! It took a while to set up and explain, but once they were going, the kids really were into the game. They learned quite a bit about how blood travels through the body and how it disposes of waste. (just a little note, I printed out 5 of these and had each table play. That way, there weren't as many people playing on one game board) Finally, the kids watched the School House Rock video, "Do the Circulation". (I have the actual DVD Schoolhouse Rock! (Special 30th Anniversary Edition), (affiliate link) but you can get it on YouTube if the school doesn't block it....like mine does) I gave them the words and, combining language arts with science, we looked for all of the facts and opinions (as well as figurative language) in the song. We discussed why the writers would put opinions and figurative language in a song intended to teach us about the Circulatory system. The students decided that it was because without the opinions and figurative language, the song would be B.O.R.I.N.G! We also began working on our Body Systems project on Google Drive. I made a template for each body system and the kids all began filling in the information about the circulatory system. This worked out perfect here because the kids had so much background knowledge at this point. They didn't really need to do as much research since we were learning so much as it was! (click here to get the project for your own class!) This is a screenshot of the slide before the kids actually did any work. I forgot to take pictures of them working! To explore the respiratory system (a bit further, as we really were talking about it all along with the circulatory system), we first diagrammed the organs involved. Then, the students did a little experiment to measure their vital lung capacity (how much air can be forcibly taken in and blown out) and the tidal lung capacity (how much is taken in and out during normal breathing). The kids has SO much fun with this one! They really were surprised at how much air they *couldn't* blow. I think they all thought they would pop the balloons in one breath when, in actuality, they hardly inflated them at all! You can find the exact experiment and printables here. So there you have it. Our basic introduction to the systems of the human body. Up next is the digestive system. Wish me luck ;) What experiments have you conducted in your class to teach your students about the circulatory and respiratory systems? Follow me on Snapchat for even more teaching ideas!
