Explanation

The Program Governance Board (also called the Program Steering Committee or Sponsor Group) holds the authority to make Go/No-Go decisions at phase gate reviews. These reviews assess whether the program has met the criteria to proceed to the next phase, be modified, or be terminated. The governance board has the organizational authority and strategic perspective required for such decisions. The Program Manager facilitates and informs the review but does not make this decision, and individual project managers or general stakeholders do not hold this governance authority.
