project oversight

Managing the endeavor

Project oversight is the supervision and monitoring of a project to ensure it stays on track, meets objectives, and follows established guidelines.

It typically involves reviewing progress, managing risks, and holding teams accountable: The board provides project oversight but doesn't handle day-to-day operations.

Oversight here means watchful care, not the "failure to notice" sense of the word.
