A Project Charter identifies and helps define a

the project and only that work. Should
contain:

• The expected project product / outcome
(What)
• Project deliverables (the major pieces of
the product)
• Project objectives (quantifiable criteria
which must be satisfied for the project to
be a success.
Planning – Project Scope (WBS)
• Developing a work breakdown structure is a
process of deconstructing major project
deliverables into smaller, easier to manage
components.
• Components which have been defined/ broken
down as far as needed are called Work Packages.
Simple Example:
1. Making Tea
1.1 Boil Kettle
1.1.1 Put water in kettle
1.1.2 Plug in kettle
1.2 Put tea bag in cup
1.3 Pour boiling water into cup
