Document control governance

Focus areas

Four structured areas that matter most for this topic.

1. 01

   Define who may do what, before anyone does anything

   Roles for issuing, reviewing, approving and releasing documents should be explicit and project-specific, not inherited from a generic template. A clear permissions model prevents governance drift.

2. 02

   Make approval a single, traceable act

   Centralised review routes in the system mean every version has a recorded approver and timestamp. No email threads, no unsigned copies — just one auditable trail.

3. 03

   Control the distribution of released documents

   Releases trigger the right notifications to the right roles automatically. Recipients always see the latest approved version, removing the risk of working from stale copies.

4. 04

   Review the governance itself

   Permissions and workflows should be reviewed on a schedule. Quarterly checks keep role mappings aligned with the actual people and projects in the organisation.
