governance

A structured system that steers and supports an organization by applying its approved policies, procedures, and related documented guidance.

Key Points

  • Defines who makes decisions, how they are made, and how accountability is maintained.
  • Is implemented through documented policies, processes, standards, and guidelines.
  • Provides oversight, controls, and escalation paths while enabling delivery teams.
  • Aligns projects and products with organizational strategy, risk, and compliance needs.

Example

A company establishes a governance framework where a product council sets prioritization rules, a change control policy defines when approvals are needed, and a risk committee reviews high-impact items each quarter. Scrum teams operate autonomously within these rules, using the documented policies and standards to guide decisions and escalate exceptions.
