Episode 30 — Document planning processes and outputs so governance survives staff turnover (Task 18)
This episode explains why documenting planning processes and outputs is essential for governance continuity, especially when key leaders, architects, or program managers leave and institutional knowledge disappears. You’ll learn what documentation matters most for GEIT: decision rights, planning assumptions, portfolio rationale, roadmaps, standards, exception records, risk acceptance decisions, and performance measures, all tied to accountable owners. We’ll cover how to document in a way that supports execution and oversight, not just archiving, by ensuring documents are current, traceable, and referenced in governance checkpoints. Real-world scenarios include repeated rework after leadership changes, stalled initiatives due to unclear rationale, and inconsistent enforcement of standards because exceptions were not recorded. On the CGEIT exam, strong answers usually emphasize documentation that enables repeatable decision-making and evidence-based oversight, ensuring governance remains stable even as personnel and priorities shift.
