As I continue to share about project management in instructional design I wanted to take some time to talk about the "Project Charter" which is a very important document. And the specific format and formatting of the document aren't very important but what goes in the document is critical to setting a project up for success. Here are my must-haves in a project charter: * Title of the project * Basic description of the project * Projected start and finish dates * Estimated budget * Project objectives * Assumptions about the project and ideas for the approach * Constraints about the product or process * A list of deliverables * Authorization to move forward with the project
