Program management

:In the software industry, program management is an aspect of software product management.

Program management

‘Program management’ or ‘programme management’ is the process of managing several related projects, often with the intention of improving an organization’s performance. In practice and in its aims it is often closely related to systems engineering and industrial engineering.

Program management

According to the view that programs deliver outcomes but projects deliver outputs, program management is concerned with doing the right projects

Program management

According to Project Management Institute (PMI), The Standard for Program Management, 2nd Ed., A Program is a group of related projects managed in a coordinated manner to obtain benefits and control NOT available from managing them individually. Programs may include elements of related work outside of the scope of the discreet projects in the program… Some projects within a program can deliver useful incremental benefits to the organization before the program itself has completed.

Program management

Program management also emphasizes the coordinating and prioritizing of resources across projects, managing links between the projects and the overall costs and risks of the program.

Program management

Program management may provide a layer above the management of projects and focuses on selecting the best group of projects, defining them in terms of their objectives and providing an environment where projects can be run successfully. Program managers should not micromanage, but should leave project management to the project managers.

Program management

In public sector work in Europe, the term normally refers to multiple change projects: projects that are designed to deliver benefits to the host organization. For example, the Office of Government Commerce for the Her Majesty’s Government|UK government. An alternative to the Office of Government Commerce’s methodology for program management is that of the private sector Project Management Institute.

Program management

Many organizations only run one program at a time, a program containing all their projects. In Project Management Institute terminology, this is more likely to be a project portfolio than a program. Some larger organizations may have multiple programs each designed to deliver a range of improvements. Some organizations use the concept of Systems Engineering where others use program management.

Program management – Differences from project management

# Program management includes management of projects which, together, improve the performance of the organization. A program’s success will be measured in terms of benefits.

Program management – Differences from project management

Another view and another successful way of managing does not see any of the factors listed above as distinguishing projects from programs, but rather sees the program as being about portfolio management. On this view, program management is about selecting projects, adjusting the speed at which they run, and adjusting their scope, in order to maximize the value of the portfolio as a whole, and as economic or other external conditions change.

Program management – Differences from project management

Yet another view is that a program management is nothing more than a large, complex project, where the integration aspect of project management is more important than in smaller projects. Integration management is a key feature of the Project Management Institute’s approach to project management.
