Governing a Programme

This section deals with designing and implementing the governance arrangements for the programme.  The term 'governance' is defined here as the functions, processes, procedures and responsibilities that define how the programme is to be setup, managed and controlled.  Programme governance provides the backdrop for all activities of managing the programme and achieving the programme's outcomes.

What you need to do

Set up the programme organisation structures

As a minimum the roles required are:

Individuals with the appropriate skills and experience should be appointed to fulfil these roles.  Each role should have a clearly defined set of responsibilities that the appointed individual accepts.

The Programme Office provides support for the governance requirements for the programme.  In particular, the funding arrangements and accounting procedures need to be implemented.

Points to consider

As the programme progresses, changes may be required to the organisation structure to reflect the change in focus as the programme moves towards transition.

The organisation structure should be reviewed periodically, and adjusted if necessary, to ensure it remains appropriate for the programme.
