Programme Delivery & PMO

It is a simple question, but one that can create considerable confusion in project governance. In some organisations, the project start date is recorded when an idea first emerges. In others, it is when business case development begins. Some organisations only regard the project as having started once funding has been approved and delivery is authorised. These distinctions matter. The date a project is deemed to have started affects reporting, accountability, resource alloca
