A project manager is tasked with establishing a governance structure for a new project in a corporation where departments function independently but must comply with central corporate policies. What is the best course of action to align the project governance with corporate governance, while respecting departmental autonomy?
Implement a standardized governance model used by the most successful department.
Adopt flexible governance, adjusting rules and processes as the project moves forward.
Design the project governance without regard to corporate governance, focusing solely on departmental needs.
Conduct interviews with leaders from different departments to understand their alignment and challenges with corporate governance.
