Role and Responsibilities of Govt. Organizations in project management

Government as the investor :

·         Government has an overarching accountability for governance of the resource management of the State. The government’s role includes:
·         setting policy priorities that drive resource investments;
·         understanding the context and drivers for those investments;
·         reviewing analysis of investment proposals – the value proposition and feasibility;
·         prioritising and funding investments; and
·         monitoring the effective procurement and benefit delivery from the portfolio of investments and resource allocation more broadly.



Good project governance includes:

·         outlining the relationships between all internal and external groups involved in the project
·         ensuring that single points of accountability exist at all levels of the project, and that accountabilities are not separated from the appropriate control of resources necessary to successfully deliver on those accountabilities.
·         describing the proper flow of information regarding the project to all stakeholders ensuring that issues encountered within each project are reviewed appropriately.
·         ensuring that required approvals and direction for the project is obtained at each stage of the project.
·         effective risk and issues management systems are in place and being used regularly.
·         a clear focus on Benefits delivery and projects outcomes.
