Who approves the project charter?

The project charter is approved by the project sponsor or the client. This person or group initiates the project, provides funding, and makes key decisions.

The project charter is an official document that formally authorizes the project and defines its objectives, main requirements, participants, and the authority of the project manager. After the project manager prepares the charter, it is submitted for approval to the sponsor or client, who signs it, thereby giving the 'green light' to proceed with the project.
