Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the project starts to grow and expand
You need a structure, a governing plan
Frameworks guide us through the maze
Clear authority shows us the way
Who decides when choices must be made
Escalation paths when help is needed

[Chorus]
SGD - Supportive, Guiding, Directive
Three PMO types we must remember
Phase gates check before we go
Stage gates help the project flow
RACI matrix shows the roles
Responsible, Accountable, Consult, Inform

[Verse 2]
Supportive PMO provides the tools
Templates, training, helpful rules
Controlling type monitors and tracks
Makes sure nothing important cracks
Directive PMO takes command
Manages projects with a firm hand

[Chorus]
SGD - Supportive, Guiding, Directive
Three PMO types we must remember
Phase gates check before we go
Stage gates help the project flow
RACI matrix shows the roles
Responsible, Accountable, Consult, Inform

[Bridge]
Compliance keeps us on the right track
Regulatory rules we can't turn back
Decision authority must be clear
Escalation paths when problems appear
Governance structure sets the frame
For project success, that's the game

[Verse 3]
RACI breaks down every task
Responsible does the work we ask
Accountable owns the final call
Consulted gives input to all
Informed just needs to know what's done
Clarity for everyone

[Final Chorus]
SGD - Supportive, Guiding, Directive
Three PMO types we must remember
Phase gates check before we go
Stage gates help the project flow
RACI matrix shows the roles
Governance gives us control

[Outro]
Structure guides us to the end
Governance frameworks help us blend
Authority, gates, and roles defined
Project success by good design
