Programme Management is the process of managing multiple, inter-dependent projects. This can be as simple as a set of projects which use a common resource pool, to a highly complex and global change programme. In an organisation, Programme Management is a way of coordinating resources across projects, functions, and sometimes separate group entities
Programme Management
trisight are able to provide Programme Management with an emphasis on coordinating and prioritising resources across projects, departments, and entities to ensure that resource contention is managed from a global perspective to deliver the programme value and benefits. This Programme Management provides the layer above project management focusing on selecting the best group of programmes, defining them in terms of their constituent projects and providing an infrastructure where projects can be run successfully but leaving project management to the project management community
Governance: Programmes need a more robust structure and control because of the larger impact their failure can have.
Management: At the lowest level project managers co-ordinate individual projects. They are overseen by the Programme Manager who accounts to the Programme Sponsor (or board).
Finances: Tracking of finances is an important part of Programme Management and basic costs together with wider costs of administering the programme are all tracked.
Infrastructure: Allocation of resources influences the cost and success of the programme. The term "infrastructure" describes physical resources such as people, equipment and communications systems.
Planning: Each project manager creates a plan which fits in with the wider plan of the Programme itself.
