Purpose

Use this plan to define how the programme's Governance Board will direct, oversee and make timely decisions. It sets governance goals, structure, authority, roles, reviews, escalation and operating logistics so the programme remains strategically aligned and capable of realizing its benefits.

Application

The Board may also be called a steering committee, oversight committee or board of directors. Whatever the name, its role is active: anticipate and respond to internal and external events, approve or change direction, and initiate, terminate or transition components when required. Treat the governance plan as a subsidiary of the programme management plan and review it with Board members as the programme evolves.

Completion discipline

Complete the document from current evidence, name its owner and approving authority, and link the plans, registers or decisions that support it. Retain approved versions and review the document whenever a material assumption, dependency, requirement or governance decision changes.
