Presentation Summary:  The California Department of Parks and Recreation had a multi-million-dollar project portfolio, but no formal project governance. That combination is less than ideal. This case study will tell the story of how the Department went from having no formal project governance to a governance model that was well defined and highly functional. This session will provide some insights on how you can do the same in your own organization.
