Programme Management is the process of managing multiple ongoing
inter-dependent projects. An example would be that of designing,
manufacturing and providing support infrastructure for an
automobile manufacturer. This requires hundreds, or even thousands,
of separate projects. In an organization or enterprise, Program
Management also reflects the emphasis on coordinating and
prioritizing resources across projects, departments, and entities
to ensure that resource contention is managed from a global
focus.
The UK government, through the Office of Government Commerce,
has invested heavily in program management (or programme management
as it's known in the UK). In Europe, the term normally refers to
multiple change projects: projects that are designed to deliver
benefits to the host organization.
Program management provides a layer above project management
focusing on selecting the best group of programs, 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.
Program management responsibilities can vary. For instance,
manufacturing program management responsibilities will be much
different than program management responsibilities for a
pharmaceutical trial and data collection program.
