Lesson 2: Governance Processes
If Lesson 1 was about how governance is set up, this lesson is about what governance actually does — the nine processes through which the domain protects and enhances a project's value proposition from start to finish.
Governance carries more processes than any other domain, and uniquely, it places at least one in every focus area, reflecting its holistic, integrative role over all the others.
This lesson works through each of the nine processes, what it accomplishes, and where it sits among the focus areas. The throughline is that governance is not a one-time approval at the front of a project but a pervasive activity threaded across the entire life cycle, unifying and coordinating the work of all the other performance domains.
