Is MSP a methodology?

MSP (Managing Successful Programmes) is not a methodology. It is a framework for managing and delivering large-scale, complex programmes of change in organizations. While methodologies provide specific step-by-step processes and techniques for achieving a particular goal, MSP offers a set of principles, governance structures, and best practices to guide programme management.

MSP focuses on aligning multiple projects and activities within a program to achieve strategic objectives and benefits realization. It provides a structured approach for managing and controlling these programmes throughout their lifecycle, emphasizing the importance of leadership, governance, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement.

MSP serves as a valuable framework and guidance for effective programme management, helping organizations successfully navigate and deliver strategic changes.
