SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Starting a project without formal authorization leaves the project manager without authority, stakeholders unidentified, and scope undefined. This Skill executes the PMBOK Initiating process group, producing a signed Project Charter and Stakeholder Register so the project can legitimately proceed to Planning. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project Charter Development: Builds the full Charter with business need, SMART objectives, high-level scope, risks, milestone schedule, ROM budget, and sponsor authorization. - Stakeholder Identification & Analysis: Creates a Stakeholder Register with Power/Interest Grid classification and engagement-level strategies (Manage Closely, Keep Satisfied, Keep Informed, Monitor). - High-Level Risk Log: Captures top risks in Cause-Event-Effect format with probability, impact, and preliminary responses. - Use Case: A sponsor approves a new product initiative. Use this Skill to draft the Charter, map all high-power stakeholders, log the top five risks, and obtain the sponsor's signature before moving into detailed Planning. ## Quick Start Use the pm-initiating skill to draft a Project Charter and Stakeholder Register for my new project based on this business need description.

Frequently Asked Questions about pm-initiating

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a Project Charter in PMBOK?▼

A Project Charter documents the business need, measurable SMART objectives, high-level requirements and scope, top risks, summary milestones, ROM budget, and sponsor authorization. This Skill guides each section with quality criteria and outputs a complete Charter template ready for sponsor signature.

How do I identify and classify project stakeholders?▼

Identify stakeholders through sponsor interviews, org chart analysis, and review of similar past projects, then classify them on a Power/Interest Grid. High-power/high-interest stakeholders are managed closely, while low-power/low-interest ones are only monitored.

When should I not use the Initiating process group?▼

Skip Initiating when a Project Charter already exists and is approved, or for minor scope changes covered by Integrated Change Control. In those cases, proceed directly to Planning or change management.

What accuracy should budget estimates have in a Project Charter?▼

Charter estimates use Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) accuracy of plus or minus 50 percent, typically from analogous or expert judgment techniques. Higher precision estimates (plus or minus 10 percent) are only possible after Planning completes the WBS.

What are the signs of an incomplete Project Charter?▼

Red flags include a missing sponsor signature, objectives without measurable success criteria, an empty risk log, an unassigned project manager, and a budget marked TBD. Any of these means the project lacks formal authorization and should not advance to Planning.
