How do you plan for a project or programme?

Planning for a project involves defining project goals, deliverables, tasks, deadlines, and budget. It requires identifying risks, stakeholders, necessary resources, and establishing a clear communication plan.

For a programme, the planning is broader and more strategic. It includes identifying and prioritizing related projects, managing interdependencies between projects, defining program-level risks and benefits, and aligning the entire program with organisational objectives. It also involves setting up program governance structures and communication channels to coordinate multiple project teams.
