Project Governance is the decision making framework that guides the development of a project and within which the critical project decisions are made. Effective project governance is recognized as a key feature of successful projects, while ineffective decision making leads to project delay and failure. Project Governance is a practical and comprehensive new title that guides readers through the logical steps required for the establishment of a project governance framework for an individual project or across an entire organization. This accessible handbook begins by exploring the problems typical of ineffective project governance, and goes on to develop a set of principles designed to overcome these problems. The book then demonstrates how to build a framework based on these principles. Project Governance shows readers how to populate this framework effectively, provides the accountabilities and responsibilities of the key roles, and illustrates how to integrate the project governance framework into the organization. Including a best-practice example of project governance policy, which can be modified to meet the needs of most organizations, this title makes for essential reading for both practitioners and students.
