### 7.1.2 Project Charter The Project Charter provides a basis for the more detailed project planning. It defines the project’s objectives (i.e. scope, time, cost, quality), high-level requirements, risks and constraints, milestones and deliverable(s). The charter, a vital element of the project approval process, includes the **what**, **how** and **when** fundamentals of the project and provides a **baseline against which progress can be measured**. Although the Project Charter can be initiated by the Business Manager (BM), it is ultimately the responsibility of the Project Manager (PM) to complete it and submit it for approval. More information about the Project Charter document can be found on the PM2 Portal and guide. The table below and figure 7.3 provide a summary of the roles involved in the creation of this artefact. ![[7.1.2 Project Charter — Inputs and main roles -1 .png]] ![[7.1.2 Project Charter — Inputs and main roles -2.png]]
