REGIONAL REPORT:
UK Project Management Round Up
By Miles Shepherd
International Correspondent for PMForum
& PM World Today
Salisbury, UK
Are You a Wise Project Manager?
This has been an interesting month and an uncomfortable one too. Against a background of unedifying behaviour at the highest level the British Standard Institute (BSI) has just finished hosting the new Work Group on Governance of IT. WG6, as it is known, is a special group that reports to the Joint Technical Committee of the International Standards Organisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). In an alphabet soup of initials, the working group is JTC1/WG6 – for short!
Among other things, WG6 is responsible for maintaining ISO 38,500 Corporate Governance of Information Technology. This is a new standard, fast tracked from early work carried out in Australia and New Zealand building on some work carried out by the Association for Project Management where a Special Interest Group developed a set of guidelines for the governance of projects.
The result is one of the first attempts worldwide to address the issues of governance that afflict us all, in any management role.
