Project Governance - project meeting schedule, monitoring, controls, decision makers and escalation processes 5. Project Delivery Team - who is involved in the project including roles and responsibilities (customer/partner/salesforce/3rd parties) 6. Ways of Working - project processes, collaboration tools, project tools and central repositories for documentation/code/testing/other 7.
