Typically, the executive summary also provides the background information and general statements regarding the project’s purpose or justification which will be covered in more detail in the appropriate section(s) of the charter.\nProject Purpose/Justification\nThis section describes the purpose and justification of the project in the form of business case and objectives.  The business case should provide the reasoning behind the need for this project as it relates to a function of the business.\nBusiness Need/Case\nDiscuss the logic for the Business Need/Case (market demand, organizational need, customer request, technological advance, legal requirement, ecological impacts, social need, etc).  This section should also include the intended effects of the business case (i.e. cost savings, process improvement, new product development, etc).\nBusiness Objectives\nThis section should list the Business Objectives for the project which should support the organizational strategic plan.\nProject Description\nThis section provides a high-level description of the project.  This description should not contain too much detail but should provide general information about what the project is, how it will be done, and what it is intended to accomplish.  As the project moves forward the details will be developed, but for the project charter, high-level information is what should be provided.\nProject Objectives and Success Criteria\nObjectives should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound.  The project manager must be able to track these objectives in order to determine if the project is on the path to success.  Vague, confusing, and unrealistic objectives make it difficult to measure progress and success.\nRequirements\nThe project team should develop a list of all high-level project requirements.  These requirements are clear guidelines within which the project must conform and may be a result of input from the project sponsor, customer, stakeholders, or the project team.\nConstraints\nConstraints are restrictions or limitations that the project manager must deal with pertaining to people, money, time, or equipment.  It is the project manager’s role to balance these constraints with available resources in order to ensure project success.\nAssumptions\nThe project t","cbCaig31n2VvYdAc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig31n2VvYdAc","docx",29922,6,"English","# Executive Summary\n# Project Purpose/Justification\n# Business Need/Case\n# Business Objectives\n# Project Description\n# Project Objectives and Success Criteria\n# Requirements\n# Constraints\n# Assumptions\n# Preliminary Scope Statement\n# Risks\n# Project Deliverables\n# Summary Milestone Schedule\n# Summary Budget\n# Project Approval Requirements\n# Project Manager\n# Authorization","[{\"question\":\"What information should be included in the executive summary section?\",\"answer\":\"Provide a high-level overview of the issues the project was created to correct, plus background and general statements about the project’s purpose and justification.\"},{\"question\":\"How should project objectives be written in this template?\",\"answer\":\"Use SMART objectives: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound, so the project manager can track progress and success.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key elements covered under requirements, constraints, and assumptions?\",\"answer\":\"Requirements list high-level guidelines the project must follow; constraints describe limitations on people, money, time, or equipment; assumptions capture what the team expects will be available without explicit confirmation.\"}]","Project Charter - Executive Summary | DOCX"]
