Project Governance Reports

The Project Governance Report is a vital communication tool that is used as the basis for ensuring that
the project board and other major project stakeholders are provided with timely, relevant and reliable
project information. As a consequence of this report, a framework is provided where by issues can
be reported and decisions made in a transparently accountable manner.
Kerzner (2017) on page 19 states that governance relates to decisions that define expectations,
accountability, responsibility, the granting of power, or verification of performance. Governance
relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, and processes and decisions-making rights for
a given area of responsibility. Governance enables efficient and effective decision-making to take
place.
The PMBOK (2017) Section 2.4 discusses project governance and advises that it is a framework
that provides the project manager and team with structure, processes, decision-making models and
tools for managing the project, while supporting and controlling the project for successful delivery.
The report is based on the contents of Directing plus Managing Successful Projects with
PRINCE2 (2017), A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide)
6th Edition (2017) and Kerzner Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning,
Scheduling and Controlling (2017).
