Which TWO of the following are components of a project charter?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between components created during Initiating (project charter) versus Planning (WBS, detailed budget, resource calendars), tempting candidates to include detailed planning artifacts as charter components.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project purpose or justification
The project charter is a formal document that authorizes the project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources. It must include the project purpose or justification to explain why the project is being undertaken, and high-level risks to identify major uncertainties at the outset. These are foundational components defined by the PMBOK Guide for the Initiating process group.
