Why each option
Before a project can be formally validated, its fundamental purpose, scope, and objectives must be clearly established in a project definition. This foundational document provides the necessary context for subsequent authorization and detailed planning.
The project definition outlines the fundamental purpose, objectives, and high-level scope of a project, serving as the essential groundwork before it can be formally validated or authorized. Without a clear definition of what the project entails, it cannot be properly assessed or approved for moving forward.
A Preliminary Statement of Work (SOW) is more detailed and often comes after or as part of the initial project definition, especially for external projects, but the core 'definition' must exist first.
The Project Charter formally authorizes the project and names the project manager; it *validates* the project, meaning the definition must precede it.
Stakeholder approval is the outcome of validating a project, not a prerequisite for having something to validate.
