The Project Charter and Project Scope Statement determine the concepts, scope and objectives of a particular project. Without these, the goals of a certain project may not be clear to the participants.
The difference between a scope statement and a project charter is that a project charter acknowledges the projects existence and the scope statement defines the project objectives.
A project scope statement outlines the project's objectives, deliverables, and boundaries, while a project charter formally authorizes the project and assigns a project manager. The scope statement defines what will be done, while the charter provides the project's overall direction and authority.
A project charter outlines the overall goals, objectives, and stakeholders of a project, while a scope statement defines the specific deliverables, boundaries, and requirements of the project.
The main way the Develop Project Charter process and the Develop Project Management Plan process are linked is through the foundational information provided in the project charter. The project charter establishes the project's purpose, objectives, high-level requirements, and stakeholders, which serves as a critical input for the project management plan. This plan, in turn, outlines how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled, ensuring alignment with the goals defined in the charter. Thus, the charter informs and guides the development of the subsequent management plans.
The project charter is typically written by the project manager or project sponsor.
