Competing Management Approaches
> Process, project, and change management as well as business analysis are considered as distinct management approaches, which require specific roles, methods and terminologies.
> On the one hand a differentiation between these approaches provides orientation, on the other hand in their practical application these approaches often need to be combined.
> In companies sometimes parallel guidelines and competing organizations being responsible for these guidelines, such as a Quality Management Department, a PM Office and PcM Office, a Change Management Department, etc., exist.
> The integration of process, project, and change management as well as business analysis, in order to contribute to the management quality of the company, is a CG function.

Resume: CG of the Process & Project-oriented Company> CG of the process & project-oriented company has specific objects of
consideration.
> Specific GC objectives in the process & project-oriented company are to define how process, project and project portfolio management is to be performed.> …and not to do process, project or project portfolio management
> The governing structures for process, project and project portfolio management as well as business analysis have to be integrated.
> An integrated Management Office can provide CG services for the process & project-oriented company.
38
There is no Project Governance!
> To define how projects and programs are to be managed generally is a CG function. > this is defined at a generic level and not for a single project
> Single projects (and programs) are to be managed and not governed. > this applies also to projects (and programs) with multiple owners
> The lack of understanding and performing the project sponsor role appropriately cannot be compensated by „project governance“

Happy Projects!
