Programme Management

Programme management is a method of grouping together projects as a coherent group for added benefit. This article provides an overview of the difference between projects, programmes and portfolios as well as the uses for programme management.

However, breaking the programme into more manageable, smaller sized projects means that benefits can be realised earlier and the overall objectives appear more achievable. This article looks at how the processes of planning and controlling a programme enable this to be done.

This article discusses how a programme management organisation is formed and what is involved in the key roles.

In order to realise the maximum benefit and have a smooth running programme, time and attention needs to be given to the detail at each stage. This article looks at each of these stages.
