The project charter is an output of which of the following project phases?

The Initiation phase is where the project or a phase officially begins, and the project charter is the foundational document created in this phase to formally authorize the project and grant the project manager authority. It establishes the project's purpose, objectives, and high-level requirements.

The Planning phase follows initiation and focuses on detailing the project's scope, schedule, and budget, not creating the initial charter.

The Execution phase involves carrying out the work defined in the project plan, which occurs after the charter has been established.

The Closing phase involves formalizing project completion and releasing resources, long after the project charter has been issued.
