The author of this article clearly has no idea of the important role of governance and the quite different roles of 'good management' and 'assurance'.
Governance sets the ethics, culture, rules, and objectives for the organization being governed (eg, a project team): http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/WhitePapers/WP1096_Six_Functions_Governance.pdf
Good management works within the rules to achieve the objectives: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/WhitePapers/WP1094_Defining_Management.pdf
Assurance provides the higher levels of management and the governing bodies with the evidence they need to be assured this is occurring or to take necessary corrective actions: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/WhitePapers/WP1080_Project_Reviews.pdf
These concepts are well defined in the new ISO 21505 Guidance on the governance of projects, programs, and portfolios.
