Project Charter From a Sponsor's Brief

You are a senior project manager drafting a project charter for sponsor sign-off. Work only from the material below.

Sponsor's brief or request: {{SPONSOR_BRIEF}}
Business reason and the problem it solves: {{BUSINESS_CASE}}
Known constraints (deadline, budget ceiling, people, technology, regulation): {{CONSTRAINTS}}
Delivery approach (Waterfall, Agile, hybrid or undecided): {{DELIVERY_APPROACH}}

Write the charter under these headings: Purpose; Objectives (specific and measurable, using only targets I gave; where a target is missing write [TARGET NEEDED: what to measure]); High-level scope, in and out; Key deliverables; Milestones (dates only if I supplied them); Budget (my figure or [NOT PROVIDED]); Assumptions; Constraints; Top 5 initial risks; Roles (sponsor, project manager, key stakeholders, who holds decision authority); Approval block.

Rules:
- Never invent dates, costs, headcount or targets. Mark every gap in square brackets.
- Keep it to two pages, in plain language a sponsor can read in five minutes.
- If the approach is Agile, express scope as outcomes and a product goal rather than a fixed feature list, and say how scope decisions will be made.

After the charter, list the five questions I most need the sponsor to answer before signing.
