Forming a Project Steering Committee
The Project Steering Committee represents, at an executive level, the critical stakeholder groups (those most impacted by the objectives of the project) in the overall governance of the project. The chair will usually be the Project Sponsor. Steering Committees would normally be required for medium to large projects only.
The Steering Committee is responsible for approving major changes to the project's scope, objectives, timelines, costs and other key attributes. It may also be called upon when significant project business decisions are required, especially of a cross-functional nature.
It is recommended that the Steering Committee comprises no more than eight members, including the Project Sponsor and Project Manager.
