Managing Successful Programmes (MSP)
Key takeaways
MSP is a flexible framework for governing and delivering transformational change across multiple linked projects.
- Use MSP when change is complex, ambiguous, and benefits-led, especially in public or politically sensitive programmes.
- Break large transformations into manageable, inter-related projects while keeping alignment to outcomes and benefits.
- MSP is built on principles, governance themes, and a transformational flow that guides the full programme lifecycle.
- Specification-led programmes can still use MSP, but it may need scaling to fit clearer output definitions.
- Choose PRINCE2 or a PMO when you mainly need project delivery or resource coordination rather than transformation.
