Explanation

The program charter is the foundational authorization document for a program. It formally authorizes the program to exist, provides the mandate (authority) to execute it, defines the timeline, and outlines key milestones for delivering products or incremental benefits. It is analogous to a project charter but at the program level. The program WBS breaks down deliverables, the risk register tracks risks, and the architecture baseline defines the technical structure - none of these provide the mandate or milestones in the way the charter does.
