The Department for Transport in the UK has published a report "Lessons from transport for the sponsorship of major projects". The report is published by the Department for Transport in association with Infrastructure and Projects Authority. It includes 24 lessons learned from transport to improve controlled delivery of major projects by government departments. 

This report aims to increase confidence that future transport, infrastructure and wider government projects are delivered with confidence, predictability and control.

The report identifies 24 practical, best-practice lessons across five key themes – accountability, behaviours, control of the schedule, costs and benefits, systems integration, and entry into service – which will help to raise the bar on how project are delivered in the government.
