Programme Management based on MSP - A management guide

'Programme Management Based on MSP: A Manangement Guide' uses principles, processes and key terms which are consistent with OGC advice and guidance on programme management, to supply a best practice approach. Programme management is the co-ordination, organisation, direction and implementation of a portfolio of related projects to achieve a defined outcome and realise specified benefits. It delivers change in manageable phases with formal review points for checking progress against plans. Programme management is particularly suitable for delivery of change (which might be new ways of working, organisational restructure, implementing a new policy initiative). It enables the organisation to focus on outcomes - 'where we want to be' - while allowing flexibility in the route to those outcomes.
