Project management - Team
SteerCo
(Steering committee)
A senior group that oversees a project, makes key decisions and holds delivery to account
What's it for?
Gives senior leaders a place to make decisions the project team cannot settle on its own.
For example…
The SteerCo hears that testing slipped two weeks and chooses to delay go-live rather than cut training
The SteerCo decides whether to accept a three-month delay or remove scope after a supplier misses a critical delivery milestone
Think of it like…
Ship's bridge: the crew runs the engines; the officers decide course when weather or ports change
