Explanation

The Project Objective section of the project charter includes measurable goals and related success criteria - essentially defining what 'done successfully' looks like. This is where scope, schedule, cost, and quality targets are stated. While 'Project Approval Requirements' specifies who has authority to approve the project and 'Exit Criteria' addresses when to close a phase, neither directly articulates the vision of success in measurable terms. The Project Objective is the component that answers the question: 'How will we know this project succeeded?'
