role of sponsor in April – the overwhelming feedback was that the audience hadn’t realised the APM had such a rich source of material on the subject. We obviously need to make more noise about it.

Our guides on good governance can also be found on the APM website and are free to download for APM members:

• Sponsoring Change
• Directing Change
• Directing Agile Change
• Governance of Co-Owned Projects

Additionally all our blogs on governance and sponsorship can be found on the APM site and on the Governance of Change Linkedin site. Also, our latest article on The 10 Golden Rules for Good Governance is available now on the APM Hub and a summary version as an apm blog.
