Program Governance - How can I help?

You cannot avoid overlap of responsibilities between different individuals while driving a program but are you aware of those?
Have you defined key metrics of the program?
Do you know your stakeholders (customers, partners, vendors, contributors, execution team, leadership and impacted parties)?
Do you have right and efficient processes in place to execute and govern the program ?
