Project Charter Measure

Problem/Goal Financial Impact


Statement
Problem: Describe problem in non-technical terms
 Statement should explain why project is important;  State financial impact of project
why working on it is a priority  Expenses
Goal: Goals communicate “before” and “after”  Investments (inventory, capital, A/R)
conditions  Revenues
 Shift mean, variance, or both?
 Should impact cost, time, quality dimensions  Separate “hard” from “soft” dollars
 Express goals using SMART criteria
 Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Resource  State financial impact of leverage opportunities
Requirements, Time Boundaries (future projects)
 Explain leverage and strategic implications (if any)
