By Kate Eby | 19. Februar 2019 (aktualisiert 21. Dezember 2023)

Wenn es darum geht, grünes Licht für ein neues Projekt zu erhalten, gibt es keine Ressource, die nützlicher als eine Projektbeschreibung ist. Sie umreißt das Projekt und umfasst wichtige Teilnehmer, Umfang, Zielsetzungen und übergeordnete Ergebnisse. Dies ist ein unglaublich nützliches Dokument, das, sobald es fertiggestellt ist, oft dazu verwendet wird, um eine Genehmigung für ein Projekt zu erhalten.

Eine Projektbeschreibung umfasst normalerweise ein bis zwei Seiten. Sie kann je nach Größe, Art und Komplexität des Projekts jedoch auch umfangreicher sein. Dieser Artikel führt Sie durch die wesentlichen Elemente einer Projektbeschreibung, stellt kostenlose Vorlagen für Projektbeschreibungen zur Verfügung und gibt Ihnen Beispiele aus der Praxis, die Ihnen den Anfang erleichtern.

A Project Charter provides a big picture overview of the project and often does double-duty as the business case. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI®), the organization that puts out the text, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), a project charter organizes and documents a project’s needs and expected outcomes.

As such, it should include success metrics, how to accomplish the project, key players, and goals. It’s imperative to work with team members to help define these attributes before getting started.
