Delivery Governance

Purpose

Governance ensures that delivery remains controlled, visible, and aligned to customer and company objectives.

Governance must support delivery rather than create unnecessary friction.

Governance Principles

We use governance to:

• make decisions at the right level

• keep delivery moving

• manage risk and issues

• protect commercial position

• assure quality

• maintain customer confidence

• create evidence

• support escalation when needed

Governance Cadence

A typical governance cadence includes:

• daily team stand-up

• weekly delivery review

• weekly customer checkpoint

• fortnightly show and tell

• monthly steering review

• milestone acceptance review

• retrospective at the end of each iteration

Governance Artifacts

Each engagement should maintain:

• delivery plan

• roadmap

• backlog

• RAID log

• change log

• decision log

• dependency log
