Description

Project Governance (PG) is often viewed as an unnecessary overhead that can be adequately managed within a project by top managers and experienced implementers. However our case studies show that people in these roles often wish to appeal to external guidance and requirements for definitive directions. Our research qustion asked: "What can top managers do to adopt an effective PG framework?" The method was to let a small group of role targeted participants from each of four companies talk about their PG requirements and experiences. The results of thematic analysis showed that people consistently required particular attributes in every project including those related to a PG framework.
