TEAM CHARTER COMPONENTS Revised Sep. 1, 2022, by Tom Morin School of Business What is a Team Charter? In the workplace, the Team Charter describes the norms of how the Project Team will communicate, and the responsibilities and authority of one or more team members. Unlike a Project Charter that is valid for only one project (sometimes called a Statement of Work), the same Team Charter may be used for many projects. Team Charters are internal documents that are not shared with the client. In this course, your project team will agree to the norms of behaviour and communication and document these in your team charter. This team charter will be for one course assignment/project. Once your instructor approves your Team Charter, your instructor will expect you to abide by it and will support you in its continued implementation throughout the course project. Instructions 1.
