APM Governance of Project Management Specific Interest Group

Overview

Since October 2003 this group has sought to answer the questions:

  • How does a board of directors assure the effectiveness and efficiency of their project management, project sponsorship and portfolio direction?
  • How do they ensure proper coherent disclosure and reporting of these systems and of their performance?
We base our investigation on published governance requirements, on recognised standards and on the experience and knowledge of our members.

We are making a difference to the quality of project management oversight and performance.

The guide  Directing Change: A Guide to Governance of Project Management (130kb) was launched in September 2004. It is available in hard copy from APM and may be downloaded from the link above. It has proved highly popular with over 20,000 copies currently in circulation.

Co-Directing Change: A guide to the governance of multi-owned projects, is the sister guide to the successful APM publication, Directing Change. The guide follows a structured approach that enables directors to question how well its shared projects are governed and to decide where and at what level action is needed. It is founded upon twelve principles that should apply to any multi-owned project in either the public or private sectors, or indeed in Public-Private Partnerships. The guide is available for members to download from the membership section of this website.

We are building on our successes and have some exciting initiatives to which you are welcome to contribute, either through the website or at our regular meetings held on the second Wednesday of every month, usually in London.
