The Project Board

The Project Board (#9 in the Hut Introduction to Project Management)
By JISC infoNet
Project boards usually have key people representing the different interests in the project: these can be generally classified as Supplier, Customer or User.
- A Chair who may be the Project Sponsor (or the Programme Sponsor if the project is part of a wider programme of activities) or alternatively may be another senior manager
- A Senior User, representing all future users of the output of the project (e.g. a new system, a new or refurbished workspace, a new process and set of related paper forms)
- A Senior Supplier, representing those sections of the organisation (including any external suppliers) whose work will lead to the outcome (e.g. IT staff working on a new system, managers designing new business processes, the Estates Department who are managing a refurbishment or new build)
- A Customer, representing the stakeholders who expect to get the benefit from the output(s) of the project. This could be the organisation as a whole, represented by the Chair/Project Sponsor
Where there are a number of different user teams or departments the Senior User would normally chair a separate User Group so that there is a mechanism for various user interests to raise concerns or to contribute to the project.
Likewise, where there are a number of suppliers the Senior Supplier would chair a separate Suppliers Group performing a similar role on the supply side of the project.
JISC infoNet aims to be the UK’s leading advisory service for managers in the post-compulsory education sector promoting the effective strategic planning, implementation and management of information and learning technology.
