Accepted answer

You need to wrap the title object inside an options object like

var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'doughnut',
    options: {
        plugins: {
            title: {
                display: true,
                text: 'TEST'
            }
        }
    } 
....

Here are the docs for a full list of all the options, chartjs:title

var data = [2137680, 6282693, 805566, 2568163, 598599, 3189284, 599112, 926340, 5548295, 11847685, 66445];
var labels = ["Management", "Finance", "Human Resources", "Business Development and Marketing", "Information Technology", "Professional Development and Training", "Knowledge Management", "Logistics", "Support", "Business Services", "Other"];
var bgColor = ["#878BB6", "#FFEA88", "#FF8153", "#4ACAB4", "#c0504d", "#8064a2", "#772c2a", "#f2ab71", "#2ab881", "#4f81bd", "#2c4d75"];

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'doughnut',
  options: {
    title: {
      display: true,
      text: 'TEST'
    }
  },
  data: {
    labels: labels,
    datasets: [{
      data: data,
      backgroundColor: bgColor
    }]
  }
});

In your JSFiddle, you forgot to add options.

The example in the documentation is:

 options: {
        title: {
            display: true,
            text: 'Custom Chart Title'
        }
        },

You need to wrap the title object inside the plugins object and then plugins inside options.

Version: 3.7.1

var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'doughnut',
    options: {
      plugins:{
         title: {
            display: true,
            text: 'Title'
            }
        }
    }

This will surely work!

Your title property should come inside another property called options. Try this. 

options : {
title: {
        display: true,
        text: 'TITLE HERE'
    }
}

You can check for some examples here as well.
