Course overview
Programme Management provides a structured framework for implementing your business strategies and initiatives through the coordinated management of a collection or dossier of projects. Programme Management provides you with a mechanism for managing the pace of your business change and for actively driving out benefits from that change. Your projects will be aligned to your strategy and your risks will be systematically managed.
Our tried and tested solution is based around the Managing Successful Programmes (MSP™) programme management method, the PRINCE2™ project management method and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®), all recognised as de facto standards across the world and supported by internationally recognised accreditation systems.
