Description

A charter can be a decision tool or a ceremonial document. This episode shows how to build one that guides behaviour throughout the project. You will learn how to define boundaries, phrase success criteria, expose constraints, and write statements that prevent later disputes. Examples illustrate how a strong charter protects both the project and the PM.
