Benefits of programmes Summary
Understanding programmesProgrammes are formed of related projects, managed together to harness benefits unachievable when managed in isolation. By leveraging programme management
techniques, they extract advantages unavailable to standalone projects.While projects zero in on specific deliverables, programmes
gravitate towards the realization of strategic outcomes and benefits. Generally, programmes boast a broader view than projects, overseeing a suite of interlinked projects all aimed at a common goal.
Take, for instance, the 2012 London Olympics. It was steered as a holistic programme, where individual endeavours, from stadium constructions and opening ceremonies to infrastructure development, were integrated projects within this expansive programme.Importance of programmesProgrammes
Each programme within a portfolio must align with the organization’s overarching strategic objectives. The cumulative success of the portfolio hinges on the collective performance of its constituent programmes and projects. By fulfilling their distinct deliverables and outcomes, they collectively further the strategic aims embodied in the
portfolio.
