Governance

Project, Programme and Portfolio Governance

In this session we hear from the co-author of the new book Project, Programme and Portfolio Governance - Ross Garland. P3G is the framework an organisation establishes to enable effective investment decision making. In this session we look at how to establish an effective governance framework for a project, programme or entire portfolio. A perfect text for anyone currently working in or managing a PMO. P3G is the framework an organisation establishes to enable effective investment decision making and the PMO has a great role to play in that. The book itself has been written for practitioners so we can expect lots of practical take aways from this pragmatic and scalable approach to governance in change delivery organisations.

As part of the initiative, different organisations are taking part and making contributions, the Association for Project Management (APM) is one of them and a recent report called Developing the Practice of Governance - was released. The report focuses on how project practitioners could improve governance on their projects and of course, that's a subject that should interest any PMO practitioner too. As part of the weekly #PMOwfh session, we had one of the authors of that report join us. It sparked some really interesting and new insights which we think you'll enjoy exploring too. Let's get started
