Which process results in the Project Charter?

• A. Develop Project Charter
• B. Plan Risk Management
• C. Define Scope
• D. Close Project

Answer: (A)

When you start a project, you need a formal document that authorizes the work and gives the project manager the authority to use resources. The process that creates this document is Develop Project Charter. It gathers inputs such as the business case, agreements, and information about stakeholders, and uses techniques like expert judgment and facilitation to produce the Project Charter. The charter itself officially authorizes the project and outlines high-level objectives, constraints, and risks at a high level, establishing the baseline for planning. Other actions like planning risk management, defining scope, or closing the project belong to later process groups and do not generate the charter.
