Project Charter Review Questions
Challenge a charter before approval.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Review my draft project charter. Paste it: [CHARTER_TEXT]. Evaluate each section against criteria: clear problem and objectives that are measurable, scope boundaries, deliverables, success criteria, assumptions, constraints, risks, stakeholders, governance, budget and timeline basis. For each section rate it from 1 to 5, quote the weakest sentence, and rewrite it more precisely. Create a list of ten questions a sponsor or sceptical executive might ask, with the answers the charter should support. Highlight inconsistencies, such as an objective without a measure. End with a prioritised list of fixes and a readiness verdict: ready, needs work, or not ready. Add a section that compares the charter with the business case and flags any difference in scope, cost or benefits, and a list of the three most common reasons charters fail review. Provide a short covering note I can send to the sponsor with the review results, written in a constructive tone, and a checklist for re-submitting the charter after corrections.

Section | Rating | Weakest sentence | Rewrite Objectives | 2 | "Improve customer satisfaction" | "Raise the satisfaction score from 62 to 70 by 30 June" Scope | 3 | "Related systems" | List the three systems Risks | 3 | "Delays may occur" | Name two risks and owners Sponsor questions: What is the benefit in money? Who approves scope changes? What happens if the vendor is late? Inconsistency: the objective needs data, but no data source is listed. Verdict: needs work. Fix list: measurable objectives, scope boundaries, named risks.
