Do components of the project governance structure vary depending on the industry the project is based on?

Sort By: Newest First Chronological Votes Keith Novak Tukwila, Wa, USA I believe you are speaking to the components describe in this whitepaper: https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/proje...al-success-9945 Those are very high level and apply to any type of project. One could also argue for different categories, some being components of others. They do vary greatly in some cases such as industries that have regulatory oversight vs. fully autonomous governance. ... 1 reply by Kevin Kinunda Dec 13, 2023 12:03 PM Kevin Kinunda ...

Posted: Dec 11, 2023 3:57 PM Markus Kopko Principal Project Management Consultant| Karer Consulting AG Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany Dear Kevin, You know, when I think about project governance, it's a topic I've grown really passionate about through my experience. There are these fundamental elements we all talk about – setting up the right framework, making sure everyone knows their roles, and having clear processes for decision-making. But honestly, what I've found to be a game changer is how you adapt these elements to fit the unique needs of different industries. Take the projects I've managed in construction, for instance. The focus there was so much on safety and sticking to regulations, which makes sense given the nature of the work. But when I shifted to IT and software projects, the whole scene changed. It was all about being agile and integrating the latest tech, which was quite a different ballgame. And then there are those additional aspects I always try to keep in mind. Like, how important it is to be flexible with changes – I've seen projects take a complete 180! Communication, too, is something I can't stress enough. Whether it's with the team or stakeholders, keeping everyone in the loop has saved me from many headaches. But you know what's really been a learning curve for me? Balancing the books and making sure we're sticking to regulations, especially in areas like finance and healthcare. It's a whole different level of pressure. And, of course, there's no overlooking the importance of sustainability nowadays. It's not just a buzzword; it's about making real, responsible decisions. So, in a nutshell, while those core governance principles lay the groundwork, I've found that there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Each industry has its quirks, and as a project manager, adapting to these while keeping your team and project on track, that's where the real challenge lies. It's been a journey of continuous learning and adapting, and honestly, that's what keeps this job exciting for me. BR, Markus ... 1 reply by Kevin Kinunda Dec 13, 2023 11:55 AM Kevin Kinunda ...
