PPMP20010 Executing & Closing Projects Assessment 2 Part 2

The project governance report is a vital communication tool that is used as the basis for ensuring that the project board and other main project stakeholders are provided with timely, relevant, and reliable project information. Governance report provides a framework whereby issues can be reported, and decisions made in a transparently accountable manner.

Kerzner (2017) states that governance relates to decisions that define expectations, accountability, responsibility, the granting of power, or verification of performance. Governance relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, and processes and decisions-making rights for a given area of responsibility. Governance enables efficient and effective decision-making to take place.

The PMBOK (2017) discusses project governance and advises that it is a framework that provides the project manager and team with structure, processes, decision-making models, and tools for managing the project, while supporting and controlling the project for successful delivery.

Directing PRINCE2 Table B.1 lists the principles taken from The Association for Project Management’s governance of project management principles.
