Which document developed during the initiation phase defines the project's objectives, success criteria, and provides the project manager with authority?
A project charter is developed during the initiation phase to formally authorize the project. It defines the project's objectives, success criteria, and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources. The project management plan is created later during the planning phase and outlines how the project will be executed and controlled. The statement of work (SOW) describes the work to be done but does not authorize the project. The work breakdown structure (WBS) is a detailed decomposition of project tasks developed during planning.
