Description

The Introduction explains the difference between project management and programme management and why programme management is important for organizations undergoing major change.

1. What is programme management?

Programme management is the coordinated management of a group or portfolio of related projects that together aim to achieve strategic organizational change and business benefits.

2. Project management vs. programme management

• Project management mainly focuses on delivering a specific product, service, or result.
• Programme management focuses on coordinating several projects to achieve broader organizational change and benefits.

So, a project asks: “What must we deliver?”
A programme asks: “What organizational change and benefits will these projects achieve?”
