Objective, scope and ownership

Course progress0%

Learning objective

Write a governance statement that people can act on.

Make the boundary explicit

Governance starts with the outcome being protected, the work included and excluded, and the people who are accountable, responsible, consulted and informed. Ambiguous ownership creates delayed decisions and invisible risk.

  • Describe a measurable objective
  • Set clear in-scope and out-of-scope boundaries
  • Name accountable and responsible roles
  • Record the decision point
