## 7.1 IT Governance Artefacts
The existence of an Appropriate Governance Body (AGB) is a very important aspect that is foreseen in the organic structure of a PM2 project. While evaluating and governing projects, a critical goal is to ensure that an outline of the proposed project’s **goals, scope, estimated budget, roadmap, risks, high-level deliverables, technical solution’s core architectural elements and hosting requirements are provided ==before the project receives budget approval==**.
Within the Initiating phase, the IT governance body proposes a minimum set of documentation consisting of a Business Case, a Project Charter, an Architecture Overview and an Operational Model.
This set of IT governance documents aims to improve the information technology governance within the Organisation, balancing and leveraging its current and planned IT investments.
