The document discusses the evolution of project management as a profession from informal approaches to established bodies of knowledge and methodologies. It notes a shift from viewing individual project managers as "heroes" to focusing on organizational maturity and capabilities. Key areas of growth include portfolio management, program management, maturity models, and the role of the Project Management Office (PMO). The future is seen to involve greater emphasis on governance, leadership, and benefits realization over methodologies alone.

Extracts from Report to Parliament No. 7 for 2010
Information systems governance and control, including the
Queensland Health Implementation of Continuity Project
In general, the results of these audits further emphasise the need for
significant improvement in program and project governance
project governance, including managing relationships with key
stakeholders was not effective in ensuring roles and responsibilities were
clearly articulated and in ensuring there was clear accountability for the
efficient and effective implementation of the system.
(Key recommendation)
Establish clear lines of accountability and roles and responsibilities at the
initiation of the project to ensure an end to end governance structure.

11. The Future
Its not about the methodology
the project scope
the business case
the project manager
Its about governance and leadership

Auditor-Generals Report 7, 2010
Programme and Project Sponsors
The role of the sponsor will grow in importance
More involved and know more about the processes
They will need to learn more about the sponsor role
currently few are taught or trained in this role
Project orientated organisations more common
Programme and Project managers will need to learn
how to better involve and use their sponsor
Programme management techniques and processes
need to evolve further
More focus on benefits and benefit delivery
