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

The standards and tools for managing risks and issues, and for reporting progress on any actions, should be implemented across the programme.  The integration of project-level information needs to be considered to enable standardised reporting across the programme. For projects that are already underway, their progress and project documentation (such as the project initiation document) should be reviewed with the project teams to check everything is aligned with the programme

 

Points to consider

See the briefing and guidelines for managing risk, the risk register and OGC's Management of Risk - Guidance for Practitioners.
