A new portfolio manager in your organization is currently preparing his portfolio charter and has come to you asking advice about what should be present in charter

Scenario Analysis and Capability and Capacity Analysis are tools and techniques used to develop the charter, not content elements that appear within the charter itself.

According to the PMI Standard for Portfolio Management, the portfolio charter documents key dependencies between components, defines the critical success criteria used to measure portfolio performance, and provides high-level timelines for portfolio execution. These elements collectively authorize the portfolio and establish the boundaries within which the portfolio manager operates. They are distinct from the tools and techniques used during charter development.

Fixed timelines for individual components are not appropriate charter content; charters use high-level timelines, and component-level fixed timelines would be overly prescriptive at this stage.

Listing only Justification and Scenario Analysis is incomplete and again confuses a tool and technique with charter content.
