4 - PROJECT INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT

4.1 develop Project charter

Develop Project Charter is the process of developing a document that formally authorizes the existence of a
project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities.
The key benefit of this process is a well-defined project start and project boundaries, creation of a formal record of
the project, and a direct way for senior management to formally accept and commit to the project. The inputs, tools
and techniques, and outputs for this process are shown in Figure 4-2. Figure 4-3 depicts the data flow diagram of
the process.
