Organisation Health Check

The project usually consists of a Project Board (steering committee) and a Project Management Team (PMT). The steering committee consists of at least 1 person, although at least two people to recommend. The Steering Committee contains the following distinct roles:

  • The Business Executive is the sponsor of the project and the owner of the business case. In general, this is the line manager of the department where the change takes place, but if the project is about for example replacing obsolete hardware it can also be the line manager of the IT department.
  • The Senior User represents the users who will have to work with the outcome of the project. He is also responsible for providing users who can be interviewed in order to establish functional specifications, and is also responsible for providing to users to perform, for example, acceptance tests.
  • The Senior Supplier is responsible for providing the necessary resources for the project. He is responsible for the allocation of the resources in the project, the availability of a project environment and any necessary hardware and software.

The project leader is not part of the Project Board. The Project Board takes decisions about releasing the budget for the next phase of the project on the basis of the updated Business Case. They also set out what the stage boundaries are in terms of turnaround time and investment for the next phase.

The Project Board will therefore meet at the end of a phase (End Stage Report), but also when an Exception Report is submitted by the project manager: Management By Exception.
