Insights from our Digital Project Governance Boards launch session
Useful digital project governance context for APS practitioners managing AI delivery programs, but not an AI-specific item.
Key points
- DTA released 'Steering for Success' guidance on digital project governance boards, developed with University of Queensland.
- Nine adaptable principles cover board composition, decision-making authority, risk alignment, and constructive culture.
- AI governance is not mentioned; this is general digital project governance guidance with limited direct AI relevance.
Summary
The DTA has published 'Digital Project Governance Boards – Steering for Success', a research-backed guide developed with the University of Queensland and the University of Sydney. Drawing on 25 stakeholder interviews with SROs and assurance providers across the APS, the guidance offers nine principles for effective board governance including active decision-making, lifecycle adaptability, and constructive culture. Practical tools such as a self-assessment checklist are included. The item summarises a launch webinar with the research team but does not address AI governance, AI systems, or algorithmic decision-making.
