Explanation
The Portfolio Charter's primary purpose is to formally authorize the portfolio manager and grant them the authority to allocate organizational resources to portfolio components. It is the governance document that legitimizes the portfolio manager's role and empowers them to act. Developing the Portfolio Management Plan, the Portfolio Roadmap, and setting timelines are all subsequent activities that occur after the charter is in place. The charter is the enabling document-without it, the portfolio manager lacks formal authority to proceed.
