Points: 3


Project Management Approach

Establish a project management approach commensurate with the size, complexity and regulatory requirements of each project. The project governance structure can include the roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of the programme sponsor, project sponsors, steering committee, project office and project manager, and the mechanisms through which they can meet those responsibilities (such as reporting and stage reviews). Make sure all IT projects have sponsors with sufficient authority to own the execution of the project within the overall strategic programme.

Hide Control Practices  help

  1. Prior to each project’s initiation, establish a project management governance structure appropriate to the project’s size, complexity and risks, including legal, regulatory and reputational risks.
  2. Assign each IT project one or more sponsors with sufficient authority to manage execution of the project within the overall programme.
  3. Define the responsibility and accountability of the programme sponsor, the project manager, and, as necessary, the steering committee and project management office.
  4. To track the execution of a project, put in place mechanisms such as regular reporting and stage reviews that are the responsibility of the project manager to complete in a timely manner.
