The corporations across the globe today are pressured by
legislative changes and heightened stakeholders' expectations.
To meet these obligations, enhanced corporate governance
is need of the hour. Given that corporations have been investing
heavily in new systems and processes to achieve effective
corporate governance. Now, they are capitalizing on these
systems against the enhanced efficiency of business practices.
Projects are in general the channels to produce new income
flows, greater efficiencies to strengthen the overall corporate
performance.
Managing a project is no longer an ordinary task because
of the developments like increased competition from global
markets, tough regulatory environment, accelerated innovation
cycles and more importantly the demanding consumers. Irrespective
of business types, organizations have to manage projects
and should leverage sound project management practices for
competitive advantage. Today, most projects are large in
nature and have to deal with risk management; project governance
has become one of the vital issues for smooth delivery of
the project.
Accordingly, project governance is a key division of corporate
governance. As projects have to deal with risk management,
project governance has become one of the vital issues for
organizational success. Governance in project is popular,
especially in the Information Technology (IT) to describe
the processes and to complete the projects successfully.
It's not just controlling roles but is an active definer
of different roles in projects. During project execution,
project governance provides the framework to reduce risk
by suggesting adequate contemplations to risk management;
it provides the tools for verification and validation of
existing processes and at the end, it assurance for the
quality of project products. Proper project governance can
also assure the compliance issues brought about by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act. However, the project mangers should firmly understand
the integration project governance features, regulations,
and practices in order to get maximum benefits of the project
governance model in practice.
