Projects are initiated by an entity external to the project such as a sponsor, program or project management
office (PMO) staff person, or a portfolio governing body chairperson or authorized representative. The project
initiator or sponsor should be at the level that is appropriate to procure funding and commit resources to the
project. Projects are initiated due to internal business needs or external influences. These needs or influences
often trigger the creation of a needs analysis, feasibility study, business case, or description of the situation that
the project will address. Chartering a project validates alignment of the project to the strategy and ongoing work of
the organization. A project charter is not considered to be a contract, because there is no consideration or money
promised or exchanged in its creation.

arket demand (e.g., a car company authorizing a project to build more fuel-efficient cars in response
to gasoline shortages),
rganizational need (e.g., due to high overhead costs a company may combine staff functions and
O
streamline processes to reduce costs.),
C
ustomer request (e.g., an electric utility authorizing a project to build a new substation to serve a new
industrial park),
T echnological advance (e.g., an airline authorizing a new project to develop electronic tickets instead of
paper tickets based on technological advances),
L egal requirement (e.g., a paint manufacturer authorizing a project to establish guidelines for handling
toxic materials),
Ecological impacts (e.g., a company authorizing a project to lessen its environmental impact), or
S ocial need (e.g., a nongovernmental organization in a developing country authorizing a project to provide
potable water systems, latrines, and sanitation education to communities suffering from high rates of
cholera).
Each of the examples in this list may contain elements of risk that should be addressed. In the case of multiphase
projects, the business case may be periodically reviewed to ensure that the project is on track to deliver the
business benefits. In the early stages of the project life cycle, periodic review of the business case by the sponsoring
organization also helps to confirm that the project is still aligned with the business case. The project manager is
responsible for ensuring that the project effectively and efficiently meets the goals of the organization and those
requirements of a broad set of stakeholders, as defined in the business case.

4.1.1.3 Agreements
Agreements are used to define initial intentions for a project. Agreements may take the form of contracts,
memorandums of understanding (MOUs), service level agreements (SLA), letter of agreements, letters of intent,
verbal agreements, email, or other written agreements. Typically, a contract is used when a project is being
performed for an external customer.
