A3 / Project charter
Purpose
A project charter (also known as an A3 because of the size of the paper used) is used to describe an entire project or problem and help guide your work.
An A3 breaks the problem up into common categories and will help staff understand roles, prioritize work, and align tasks.
How to Use
This is a working document that can be used as a project management tool and should be revised and updated on an ongoing basis. As an A3 should fit within one page, aim to be succinct and use graphics (e.g. charts, pictures) wherever possible.
