What are the differences between “Project Charter” and “Project Scope statement”?

the charter aknowledges the existence of a project, Scope Statement defines where the major objectives and what the project deliverables

The main difference is the phase you are in, the project charter comes in the very initial stages, where you have to define the project in brief, and get some sort of high level scoping, in which we can describe as providing the initial direction of the project, then in the planning stage, you get more concrete thoughts, and you know better what are the things that you want to do, and this is where we expand in the deliverables, milestones, scope, goals to reach (and from that get the acceptance criteria).

Projec charter is A document issued by the project initiator or sponsor that formally authorizes the existence of a project, and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities.

Project Scope is the work that must be performed to deliver a product, service, or result with the specified features and functions.

A project charter is the document which conceives the project idea. A project scope is a document outlining the project goals (what is invloved and what isn't).

Project charter it is mean we have a project now, project scope statement mean the objective, scope, and deliverables of the project in detail.

project charter contains the initial budget ,the initial scope, the initial risks. Project charter is the formal start to project manager to begin the project.

Project Scope Statement contains the product description and the work required to deliver the product. 

Project Charter defines the existence of a project whilst Project Scope Statement determines the objectives and deliverables of the project etc

Project Charter:

Official document created and approved by key stakeholders, after project idea has been identified Developed by the corporate executive or sponsor Defines the responsibilities and boundaries of the project manager and the project

Scope Statements:

• After the project charter is approved, the project manager can proceed with launching team building activities and defining the scope of the project
• Document that formalizes references the scope of everything that the project must produce that is used for future decision making
• Developed by the project manager with his/her project team members
• Acts as a response to the Sponsor/Project Charter

A project charter could contain a scope statement while a scope statement contains deliverables only.
