Program Management...
For some it's a wholly new discipline: for others, it's a natural growth from Project Management maybe even 'grownup' project management.
So, what is Program Management?
In this video, I'll answer that question.
But we need to see it for what it is, itself. And that starts by understanding what a Program is.
A Program...
(UK Spelling: Programme)
The temporary organization that oversees a variety of related projects, operational activities, and initiatives.
Projects within a program are related by dependencies among one or more of:
• Common resource pool
• Interrelated goals, objectives, and outcomes
• Scheduling or budgetary constraints
The program brings them all together in a coordinated manner – and typically lasts longer than the span of the longest project, as components are scheduled and sequenced to overlap, but not to all run concurrently.
The outcomes of a program are usually of strategic importance to the enterprise.
Program Management
(UK Spelling: Programme Management)
Coordination, leadership, and implementation of a program of interrelated projects and activities. The goal of program management is to realize the benefits forecast for the program.
