Governance and Governance Frameworks : whitepaper
other
Organizations, communities, governmental bodies, etc., consist of various constituent entities such as
departments, members, project teams, processes, and IT systems. Each of these entities operates with a
certain degree of autonomy, serving unique purposes akin to their own mission. Setting out and
adjusting the course for its operations (i.e., setting and realizing a set of objectives) and monitoring the
effectiveness thereof over time, is done in what is called a governance process. That process also
balances the entity’s ambitions with those of the entities it needs to cooperate with.
This document describes a governance approach that is both precise and adaptable, keeping each
entity focused and on track with its specific needs and goals. We will see that it is not only useable for
individual (small) entities, but also works for collaborative environments
