What would be a logical composition for a Project Board. I will not go into stuff like Belbin and group process (for now). But if one takes charge, what does that mean. It means that the Project Board should consider three things. What is needed to be able to use the result, what is needed to make the result and what will it cost and provide? Any other requirement to a project result will come down to one of those.
The use of the result is by users, whoever and wherever they are. To be able to make the result, one needs providers, manufacturers, builders and so on. And of course there is money involved. Will the result help to achieve the business case? Discussions on these three matters should always be held in or at least be finalized and decided upon by the Project Board. Or put it in another way, the Project Baord must be able to discuss and decide within its own boudaries on these matters.
So the Project Board should be able to take the responsibilities on those three attention areas. This means that users, suppliers and company interest should be represented in the Project Board. Thats why Senior User(s), Senior Supplier(s) and Executive are the elected members of a Project Board. They will be able to succesfully finalize any project. Ofcourse, one needs a team to achieve the reults and for daily management one might need a manager. But whatever happens, the Project Board remains responsible for the result. Is next time the right time to discuss other team memebers?
