Course overview
Despite the application of the key project management elements, evidence indicates that there still exists a high proportion of project problems experienced during the 'delivery' phase of a project (resulting in schedule delays, cost overruns and/or quality concerns). Clearly developing a project management plan does not necessarily guarantee project success for the project manager. Project governance and contracting decision making need to be aligned with the organisation's governance model across the entire project lifecycle and therefore is a critical element of any project. This course aims to develop the competencies for establishing and maintaining an effective project governance framework that enables and informs effective project decision making. It covers the key project governance principles, governance structures, roles and responsibilities, policies and procedures, and stakeholder engagement strategies to support the effective planning, oversight, and delivery of capital-intensive projects.
