Project Charter Template
A one-page project charter to get sign-off on scope, objectives, and sponsor before you start work — the document most first-time PMs skip and later regret skipping.
What's included
- ✓ 1-page charter template (editable, Word + Google Docs)
- ✓ Worked example filled in for a sample internal project
- ✓ Short guide: the 5 questions a charter must answer before you start
The project charter is the single most skipped document for first-time PMs — and the one whose absence causes the most confusion three weeks in, when nobody can agree what “done” actually means.
This template forces five things onto a single page before any work starts: the objective, the scope boundaries (what’s explicitly out, not just what’s in), the sponsor, the success criteria, and the constraints. Fill it in with your sponsor in one 30-minute conversation, and you’ll have avoided most of the ambiguity that derails early-stage projects.
