Charter
Projects are a sequence of planned activities with a definite beginning and end, to complete a specific aim or fulfil a unique business requirement.
A Project Charter is the guiding document to navigate a project:
Leadership and Resource
Scope
Objectives and success criteria
Deliverables
Milestones and risk
In Lean Six Sigma (LSS) all data-driven excellence begins from a Project Charter in the Define phase of DMAIC and DMADV projects.
