On March 6th, the Community of Project Managers (CoPM) held an event in the Boole Library Creative Zone on the topic of Project Governance. Project Governance is the framework by which project decisions are made. It is a critical element of any successful project, as it ensures that there is appropriate accountability and responsibility within the project team. We were delighted to be joined by some of UCC’s leaders in project governance, who shared their experiences of best practice governance frameworks and examples.
