Project Charter
Plans artifact · ← Artifact catalog
What it is
A short paper that officially starts the project and says who is in charge.
Why it matters
Without it nobody has the standing to spend money or ask people for time — it is the permission slip the rest of the project depends on.
What it looks like here
Driftless generates it on demand from the project's own record (its sponsor, goal and manager), rather than storing a separate copy that could drift from them.

This product does not track this artifact against a real project's data — generated on read by the report engine (driftless/report/documents/charter.py); a stored copy is the duplication the design forbids — read the Charter document.
Reached from a project's own process map, this page also shows what that project's own data says about this artifact.
