Abstract

Portfolio, program and project (3P) Governance is an immature field of study, with fewer than 200 published research papers and the majority of these focused on project governance. Theory development is equally immature with available standards (such as published by the PMI) being called ‘practice guides’, which is useful enough, although the theories grounding such practices are either ‘thin’ or simply non-existent.
