Project management - Process
Project governance
The structure defining who makes project decisions, who is accountable and how progress and risk are reviewed
What's it for?
Makes clear who can decide, who is accountable and how progress and problems are reviewed.
For example…
A project has a sponsor, a SteerCo monthly, and a rule that budget overruns above five percent escalate to the CFO.
Project governance says scope changes above £100,000 need steering-group approval while routine delivery decisions stay with the project manager
Think of it like…
The rules of a sports club: who captains, who picks the team, and when the committee meets if results go sideways
