Project Governance
The framework of authority, decision-making, and oversight that guides the project.
Project governance is the framework of rules, functions, and processes that direct and control a project, ensuring decisions are made by the right people at the right levels of authority. It includes oversight structures such as a steering committee, escalation paths, stage-gate reviews, and change-approval policies, operating at both organizational and project levels to keep work aligned with strategy and stakeholder expectations. The exam tests the distinction between governance and project management: governance sets the boundaries and authority within which the project manager operates, while project management applies knowledge and skills inside those boundaries.
