Your team members were having a discussion about the contents of the Portfolio Charter and they came to you for advice because they could not agree on a common answer. What would be your advice to…

Scenario analysis and capability and capacity analysis are tools and techniques applied during portfolio management processes; they are not listed as contents within the Portfolio Charter document itself.

The Portfolio Charter contains high-level scope and high-level timelines - not detailed schedules - along with critical success criteria and the business justification for the portfolio. As an authorization document, it intentionally operates at a strategic level, establishing just enough definition to authorize the portfolio without pre-empting the detailed planning that follows in subsequent processes.

The Portfolio Charter includes only critical success criteria, not all success criteria; comprehensive and detailed success metrics are developed in planning documents created after the charter is approved.

Scenario analysis and capability and capacity analysis are analytical methods used during portfolio management decision-making and are not content elements that appear in the Portfolio Charter.
