Governance is what separates teams that scale from teams that struggle. In this course, you will build a complete governance framework for an Asana workspace — covering access control, communication protocols, security configuration, and goal alignment. You will learn how to define role-based permissions that protect sensitive data while keeping collaboration fluid. You will design communication standards that reduce noise and improve stakeholder engagement. You will configure security baselines — including two-factor authentication, SSO, and app management policies — that meet organizational compliance requirements. And you will cascade company OKRs into project-level goals so every team member understands how their work connects to strategic priorities. This course is built for project managers, PMO leads, and operations professionals who want to move beyond tool familiarity and into organizational governance. By the end, you will have a portfolio-ready governance document that demonstrates the leadership and systems thinking employers look for in senior project management roles.
