Develop Project Charter

The process of creating a project charter that officially launches the project and empowers the project manager to commit organizational resources to project work.

Key Points

  • Produces the project charter, which authorizes the project at a high level.
  • Typically initiated and approved by a sponsor; approval grants PM authority.
  • Occurs in the Initiating process group; may repeat at phase gates.
  • Relies on the business case and agreements; expert judgment and facilitation are common tools; an assumptions log is started.

Example

A company plans to roll out a new CRM system. The sales VP sponsors the effort. The project manager works with key stakeholders to draft the charter covering the purpose, high-level scope, major milestones, budget ceiling, key risks, and success criteria. After the sponsor signs the charter, the PM is authorized to engage teams and use funds to begin planning.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
