A Project Charter is an important document that allows the identification of the scope, budget, technology and resources behind the project. In an Agile Project, a charter is usually a very lightweight documentation, often a single sheet. It is a flexible document that offers the team to respond to changes, as well as deliver high quality product in a fast rate.
A Charter in Agile, is devoted to the single-minded approach to being simple. There are typically four typical components of an Agile charter :
- Establish the norms of the Team
- Develop and elevator speech
- Create a Product Box
- Capture Success Criteria
