Sante, good question, actually I understood it more when I did study PRINCE2 as it has a good framework with three elements structure, people and information it separate stakeholders management and project decision making, also project ownership independent of Assets ownership with accountability so in general it is a set of rules and principles for the framework where all decision and actions plan repeatedly as a system takes place In other words a good governance relates to consistent management, cohesive policies, guidance, processes and decision-rights for a given area of responsibility like the one in Management by Exception and Management by stages and proper oversight and accountability

Agree with points made by Riyadh.
In organisations which are ISO 9001 certified, the QMSM & QMSP addresses most of the Project governance aspects.

Riyadh,
Yes we do use SAP in most of functional areas. We are yet to reach Quality notification aspects in SAP. We are in process.

Boiled down, governance is about the who/what/why/when/where & how of decision making. The struggle most companies face is to balance control objectives (e.g. fiscal prudence, responsibility to shareholders, regulatory compliance) with delivery objectives (e.g. faster, cheaper).
Like project management itself, a one size fits all never works - good governance models are flexible and scalable to the context and risk profile of a given project.

I think “Governanace” is one of most over-used and misunderstood words in business, it gets thrown around casually without real though into implementing a governance approach. I realised last year during a period of self-reflection that perhaps I too was falling into this trap, so I went back-to-basics and referred to some publications - PMI have a practice guide as well as a number of other publications that touch on it, and the Axelos “Managing Succesful Programs” methodology also has Governance Themes which cover a number of topics. In my previous Organisation I realised we didn’t have a true end to end Governance framework, so i wrote a governance plan. It had sections which identified all of the different types of governance activity we had; for us this was things like: sales, technical solution, process, lifecycle, implementation, but of course it will be different for every project.

Indeed the term is overused, but in essence its the management framework used to make project decisions and also to have some checkpoints. I'm always interested to see how people write governance plans, as they are so interesting, diverse, yet crucial.
