Being a governance team member is a critical role.

• You run the business, the project doesn’t.
• You can make things happen that the project team cannot.
• You can ensure the right resources are allocated which the project team cannot.

The project team is reliant on your active and informed support. But project governance is not a topic that is well understood. Indeed, it is actually very poorly understood - even by those ‘in the trade’ as it were. Few project people can define the true role of project governance. Indeed, the most common questions being asked by governance team members are, “Why am I here?” and “How do I add value to this project?” Most executives and managers do not know the full answers to these questions. Therefore, it is of little surprise that more projects fail due to poor project governance than poor project management.
