The charter typically includes a statement of mission, objectives or statement of work; background; authority or boundary conditions (scope, constraints, resources, and schedule); membership; requirements or specifications, and interface responsibilities.”1  \nThis template can be used and modified accordingly, when teams are created to help the team develop their mission and mandate, to identify the individual roles and responsibilities of team members, and clearly define the boundaries of the team. This charter, once complete, should be then approved by the team sponsor (this may be an individual, a group of individuals or committee), so that the expectations of the team and the team members are clearly defined and understood.  \nEach item listed below should be determined (preferably by all members of the team) when developing a team charter. A brief description of each item is provided in the adjacent column, followed by meeting ground rules for the team.  \n\n| Item | Brief Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Project Mandate | If there is an over-arching project from which the team’s creation was spurred. |\n| Sponsor | The individual(s) who have asked for the team’s creation |\n| Team Mandate (Scope) | The purpose/ mission of the team |\n| Boundaries (level of authority, constraints) | The constraints that the team is working with, for example what authority does the team have to make decisions, and what technologies will be used by the team (pre-determined) |\n| Clients/Customers | Who is the team’s mission to serve |\n| Stakeholders | In who’s interest is the success of the team |\n| Deliverables | What is the team to deliver at the end of it’s mandate |\n| Life Cycle | How long is the team to exist |\n| Team Membership Roles/Responsibilities | Who is in the team, what is their role and what are they responsible for |\n| Resources | What does the team have at-hand |\n| 􀀦 Financial | Is there a budget for the team, who is responsible |\n| 􀀦 Human | Are there other resources available to team members (eg.
