Steering Committee Pack
A governance reporting pack for project managers who need clearer steering committee papers, stronger escalation, better decision records and more useful executive reporting.
Who It Is For
- Program managers who need to reset or establish steering committee reporting
- Project managers whose current reports are not producing governance decisions
- PMO leads standardising reporting across a portfolio of projects
- Sponsors and committee chairs who need better information to govern effectively
What It Helps With
Steering committees govern through information. When that information is too long, poorly structured or avoids difficult truths, the committee cannot make the decisions the program needs.
This pack provides a reporting framework that surfaces risks, escalations and decisions clearly, and structures committee papers so that meetings produce governance outcomes rather than status updates.
What Is Included
Status Report Template
A structured status report template covering RAG ratings, progress, risks, issues, actions, financials and escalation items.
Executive Dashboard
A one-page executive summary for senior audiences who need a clear view of program health at a glance.
RAID Register
A combined risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies register designed for steering committee visibility.
Decision Register
A structured log of committee decisions, the authority that made them and the date, with space for implementation tracking.
Escalation Paper Template
A formal template for escalating a risk or issue to the steering committee for a decision or direction.
RAG Rating Guide
A calibrated guide for defining Red, Amber and Green thresholds consistently across the program.
Committee Agenda Template
A structured agenda that ensures meetings address governance items and produce decisions.
Action Register
A register for tracking committee-level actions with clear owners, due dates and status.
How To Use It
Start with the RAG rating guide and agree the thresholds with the committee before the first report is issued. Inconsistent RAG ratings erode trust faster than almost anything else. Once the calibration is agreed, use the status report template to establish a reporting rhythm that the committee can rely on.
