Project Governance

Project governance provides the framework and system that ensures project decisions align with organisational policies and strategic objectives. This unit examines the fundamental principles of project governance and their integration with established project management methodologies, including the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) guidelines. Students will map governance structures, analyse contemporary governance theories, and evaluate their practical applications in project contexts. Through critical assessment of real-world project governance implementations and their outcomes, students will develop skills in evaluating and adapting governance frameworks to enhance project performance and help prevent project failure across different organisational environments.
