Episode 17 — Governance, Roles, and Cadence
Governance turns strategy into disciplined behavior, so this episode clarifies decision rights, responsibilities, and meeting rhythms that keep risk work timely. We map core roles—sponsor, project manager, risk owner, action owner, facilitator—and explain how authority, accountability, and consultation differ in practice and on the exam. You will learn to design a cadence that fits volatility: monthly reviews in stable phases, bi-weekly or sprint-aligned checkpoints when change is rapid, and ad hoc escalations when triggers fire. We also show how to integrate vendor and compliance functions so external obligations are visible in the same rhythm as delivery work.
The second half focuses on practical mechanisms that exam stems often imply: a standing agenda that prioritizes indicators and decisions, pre-read packs to reduce meeting thrash, and a register view that separates individual risks from overall risk. Examples demonstrate how unclear roles stall responses and how simple RACI clarifications unblock ownership disputes. Troubleshooting guidance covers quorum failures, duplicate forums that dilute attention, and stakeholder fatigue that erodes transparency. Strong answers privilege clarity, timeliness, and evidence trails—minutes, sign-offs, and updated artifacts—over informal agreements that cannot be verified.
