Programme Management Professional Practice

Programmes coordinate multiple related projects toward a strategic outcome that no single project could deliver alone, and this course builds the governance and benefits management discipline that distinguishes programme management from project management. Delegates work through programme structuring, tranche planning and benefits realisation using examples from multi-project rollouts in telecoms, banking and public infrastructure.

Course objectives

  • Structure a programme into tranches aligned to incremental benefits delivery
  • Design a programme governance model with clear escalation from project to programme to sponsor
  • Build a benefits realisation plan that tracks outcomes beyond individual project completion
  • Manage cross-project dependencies, resourcing conflicts and shared risk
  • Apply programme-level stakeholder management across multiple project teams and sponsors

Who should attend

  • Programme managers and directors
  • Senior project managers moving into programme roles
  • PMO leaders responsible for multi-project coordination
  • Business change managers linked to programme delivery
  • Executives sponsoring large transformation programmes
