Improved Decision-Making:
Governance ensures a structured approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks and issues.
With standardized frameworks and processes in place, decision-makers have reliable data to make informed and timely decisions.
For example, using a centralized risk register ensures all risks are visible, allowing for prioritization based on impact and probability.
Accountability and Oversight:
Governance establishes clear roles and responsibilities for managing risks and issues.
This fosters transparency and ensures that risks and issues are addressed by the appropriate individuals or teams within the project.
It also enables effective monitoring and reporting, ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of potential threats and mitigation plans.

Resource management seems relevant, but I’m not convinced it’s the best indicator for output progress. I need to think more about this.

I feel like budget tracking is important, but it doesn't really show how the outputs are progressing, just the spending.

I remember a practice question where benefits realisation was emphasized as crucial for project success. Maybe that’s the right answer?

I think Earned value might be the best choice since it directly relates to delivery progress, but I'm not entirely sure.

Benefits realization seems like the most important thing to track. At the end of the day, that's what the project is all about - delivering the expected business value.

I think earned value is the best choice here. It gives you a clear picture of how the project is progressing in terms of actual work completed versus planned.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is earned value the same as budget tracking? I'm not totally clear on the difference.

Earned value? More like 'earned nap time' if you ask me. Let's get this project moving, people!

Budget tracking? That's just keeping an eye on the money, not the actual work. Definitely not the best indicator.
