Programme Management Resources

What is a programme?

A programme is a set of related projects and activities managed in a coordinated way to achieve strategic objectives and benefits that could not be obtained if they were managed individually (PM²-PgM Guide, 2021).

What is programme management?

Programme management is the process of applying knowledge, skills and actions to a programme to achieve the programme’s objectives and benefits (PM²-PgM Guide, 2021).

The implementation of programme management principles empowers organisations to:

• Bring guidance for the overall execution of the programme.
• Find synergies within the underlying projects that maximise the business value.
• Report programme performance and benefits to senior management.
