Project Charters that have teeth in them

Before you begin a new project you are going to need a meaningful Project Charter. You will need to ensure that all the elements and most importantly the goals, objectives, and stakeholders are aligned exactly with what you want to accomplish in undertaking the project.

I can think of several stakeholders and managers on a project who took visible roles on paper, but not with regard to performance. Within 6 months they awoke and were displeased not with their apathy but the PMO. hmmmm....

What you do not want is any element to be less than fully committed. Short and sweet.
