Larger projects frequently create special project committees and boards to provide project oversight and decisions.
The role, function, and authority of each committee or board should be clearly defined during the project initiation and planning processes.
Here are a few examples.
Senior or Executive Level
- Steering Committee. A management committee that decides the project priorities
Project Level
- Change Control Board. A group of individuals that will make decisions on whether a proposed change to a project should be approved.
- Project Management Committee. Consists of the project manager and the parallel client-side project manager
Members assigned to participate in these committees and boards should be identified and listed the respective Roles and Responsibilities Register. All members should agree to participate and attend scheduled meetings.
