Why Use Programme Management?
• Organizations are likely to fail to deliver change successfully where:– There is insufficient board-level support
– Leadership is weak
– There are unrealistic expectations of the organization's capacity and capability
– There is insufficient focus on benefits
– There is no real picture (blueprint) of the future capability
– There is a poorly defined or poorly communicated vision
– The organization fails to change its culture
– There is insufficient engagement of stakeholders
MSP provides a structured framework that can help organizations avoid these pitfalls and
achieve their goals

MSP® Principles
• Remaining aligned with corporate strategy– Insure that the strategic drivers are extended into the governance of the
programme’s projects• Leading change
– Clear leadership, open debates, evaluated risks, novel solutions– Actively engaging stakeholders
• Envisioning and communicating a better future– Having a range of stakeholders buy in to proposed direction
• Focusing on the benefits and threats to benefit realization– Do not overlook strategic and long term issues
• Adding value– Adding additional benefits to projects that wouldn’t be realized if projects
operated independently • Designing and delivering a coherent capability
– Maximum incremental improvement with minimal operational impact• Learning from experience
– Assume a learning attitude, schedule regular and major review points

Governance Theme – Planning and Control
• Programme Controls should be established as early as possible, with assurance arrangements initially defined in the Programme Mandate
• Managing the Programme does not mean micro-managing the projects within it
• Projects should be empowered, but…
– Projects need clear tolerances and limits
– And Project Managers manage their projects within the tolerances
• Communication between Programmes and Projects
– As per standards, but likely to include:
• Project Initiation Documents (PIDs)
• Highlight Reports and Exception Reports
• Issue Register and Risk Registers
– Supported by the Programme Office
