Project Charters Bridge Cultures
by: Randy Tangco June 2007
Take great pride and care in your project charter because this is where you sow the good seed. It will eventually take care of you. Buy a high-quality leather-bound portfolio -- the kind graphic artists use to highlight their best work. In this portfolio, you keep an original example of a very important project document – the project charter. Why? The leather-bound portfolio demonstrates to everyone the value that you place in this document. The PMBOK Guide® describes a project charter mainly in terms of what it can do for the project. Perhaps just as important, however, is what this document can do for you. If your employer allows you to keep this document, take your leather-bound portfolio to your job interviews. It will demonstrate to your future employer that a charter is a high priority.
I believe the project charter is an excellent tool to overcome personal adversity, even cultural gaps. Many organizations have recognized that project management is a key competency that is needed to help meet the business strategy. Let’s consider at some examples of how the project charter can help bridge cultural gaps.
