Create a decision-ready project charter
Frame a project around an observable outcome, bounded scope, accountable ownership, assumptions, and approval points.
Exact prompt
Turn the information below into a decision-ready project charter. Expose missing commitments instead of filling them with generic language.
Problem and desired outcome:
{{problem_outcome}}
Stakeholders and affected groups:
{{stakeholders}}
Constraints and known context:
{{constraints}}
Instructions:
1. Separate the current problem, desired outcome, proposed approach, and assumptions.
2. Define success through observable behavior or operating conditions, including baseline and measurement owner when known.
3. Set explicit in-scope and out-of-scope boundaries and identify likely boundary disputes.
4. Record explicitly supplied sponsors, decision owners, delivery owners, contributors, consulted groups, and people affected by the change; mark any required role with no named owner as unresolved.
5. List dependencies, risks, unknowns, and discovery work that must happen before commitment.
6. Break delivery into milestones that each produce reviewable evidence, not just elapsed time.
7. Define approval points, change control, communication cadence, and stop conditions.
Return a concise charter, open decisions, ownership table, milestone evidence, and a kickoff checklist. Do not invent budget, dates, authority, capacity, or stakeholder agreement.Replace before use
