Explanation

The PMO (Project Management Office) is responsible for governance functions: providing project control, coordinating resources across projects, and setting standards and practices. However, creating a project charter is the responsibility of the project sponsor (who authorizes the project) and/or the project manager (who may draft it). The PMO may provide templates or guidance for the charter, but the actual creation and authorization is done outside the PMO. This distinction reflects the PMO's governance and support role versus the execution role of the project sponsor and manager.
