Project governance and Project Management Office (PMO)

# Introduction

This free course, Project governance and Project Management Office (PMO), introduces you to the important Project Management topic of project governance and how a Project Management Office can support governance. Project governance may be highly formalised, within the organisational governance, for large projects, or programmes or portfolios of projects. In smaller organisations, perhaps with less complex projects, some of the governance and support for the project may be undertaken by the project manager themselves. Whatever the context, the roles and responsibilities for project governance need to be clear and appropriate for the project and the organisation.

This OpenLearn course is an extract from the Open University course M815 Project Management . You may also be interested in the OpenLearn course Managing virtual project teams , which looks particularly at leadership and communication in project team which are not collocated.
