Programme management
Guiding several related projects towards one shared goal.
Programme management is steering several projects that work together towards a single goal. Where project managementBringing one clearly defined undertaking to a result within scope, time and budget. focuses on one clearly defined undertaking, programme management keeps an overview of the whole: how the parts fit together, the order and the shared resources.
It becomes necessary as soon as a change grows too big for a single project. Think of a new system that affects your processes, your data and your way of working all at once. Each piece is a project in its own right, but someone has to make sure they all move in the same direction.
