The purpose of project delivery in government is to provide a structured framework for defining and implementing policy and business strategies to enable the government and its organisations to achieve the outcomes and benefits they need.
Part A provides a foundation for The Teal Book, focusing on governance and management as it applies to project delivery overall. It includes:
- the universal, validated and empowering principles that underpin project delivery
- a description of portfolios, programmes and projects
- the key aspects of governance and management that apply to all project delivery, including an understanding of assurance and evaluation
- the need to consider equality, diversity and inclusion, sustainability and environment, and health, safety and security in all government project delivery.
As with all parts of The Teal Book, the topics described in Part A: Project delivery in government should not be used in isolation and are supplemented by more detailed guidance on tailoring The Teal Book to particular situations in Part B, managing a portfolio in Part C, managing programmes and projects in Part D and the supporting planning and control practices in Part E and solution delivery practices in Part F.
