Explanation

A project charter typically includes several components: purpose (why the project exists), high-level requirements (what is needed), approval requirements (who signs off on deliverables or the charter itself), and exit criteria. Exit criteria are the explicit conditions that must be satisfied before a project phase can be formally closed and the project can move to the next phase (or be completed). They serve as the 'gate' requirements between phases. Without exit criteria, there is no clear definition of when a phase is done - making this the component that governs phase closure.
