What does a project charter means??

In  project management, a project charter, or project statement is a statement of the scope,


objectives, and participants in a project. It provides a preliminary explanation of roles and
responsibilities, outlines the project's key goals, classifies the main stakeholders, and
outlines the authority of the project manager.
A project charter should:
• Contain the essence of the project.
• Provide a shared understanding of the project.
• Act as a contract between the project sponsor, key stakeholders and the project team.
 The project charter is usually a short document that refers to more detailed documents
such as a new offering request or a request for proposal.
What a project statement means??

The project scope statement is the description of the project scope, major
deliverables and exclusions. The project scope statement documents the entire
scope, including project and product scope. It describes the project’s deliverables
in detail. It also provides a common understanding of the project scope among
project stakeholders. It may contain explicit scope exclusions that can support in
managing stakeholders expectations. It enables the project team to perform more
thorough planning, guides the project team’s effort during execution, and offers
the baseline for estimating whether requests for changes or additional work are
restricted within or outside the project’s boundaries.
 Project scope description: Progressively elaborates the characteristics of the project,
service, or result described in the project charter and requirements documentation.
 Deliverables: Any distinctive and demonstrable product, result, or capability to perform
a service that is required to be shaped to complete a process , phase, or project.
Deliverables also include secondary results, such as project management reports and
documentation.
 Acceptance criteria: A set of conditions that is required to be met before deliverables
are accepted.
 Project exclusions: Project exclusions, assumptions, and constraints are included in a
Project Scope Statement. Project exclusions are those things that outside of the
project boundaries.
