PWC reported that in the UK 45% of capital
projects are delayed with over 90% of these being
for failure of managerial aspects which shows
that companies have the ability and skills to
complete the project but need to be far more
organized in their approach to ensure successful
and timely completion.
This is where Project Governance is essential !!

techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.

Effective
Governance
Principles for effective project governance:
o Establish a single point of overall accountability.
It ensures clarity of decision making and empowers the accountable person
within the organization. Also the consistency of accountability throughout
the project’s life ensures decision-making consistency and focussing of the
objectives and benefits.

Effective
Governance
Principles for effective project governance:
o Service delivery ownership determines project ownership, like:
A sponsor who is responsible and accountable for the project and who
secures its outputs. A project manager who will manage the project on a
day-to-day basis. An operations manager who will manage the project
outputs after project closure. A steering committee that provides
strategic direction and monitors the project.

Effective
Governance
Principles for effective project governance:
o Separate project decision making from stakeholder management.
Usually decision making is most critical role in projects, this role is
assigned to steering committee, so to avoide "role overlapping" issues
and to “keeping Permanent neutrality” the governance model should
keep the steering committee out of detailed project management
activities.

Effective
Governance
Principles for effective project governance:
o Distinguish between project governance and organizational structures.
Project governance structures are established because organization
structures generally do not provide the necessary framework to deliver a
project. Projects require flexibility, high levels of sustained focus and timely
decision making, which the hierarchical of organization does not enable.
