Course Description:

'' This event provides those responsible for managing programmes with a structure which will help them towards delivering the business benefits sought. This event can be attended to complete the Foundation and Practitioner Examinations.

Programme Management brings together related projects to manage their interdependencies. The OGC’s "Managing Successful Programmes" method provides and maintains a strategic view over the set of projects, aligning and co-ordinating them within a programme of business change in support of specific business strategies. Programme Management provides the framework for implementing business strategies and initiatives, or large scale change, where there is a "vision" of the programme’s outcome â€?a transformed organisation for example. The path to achieving the vision may deviate and change direction. The vision itself may require adapting as work progresses and individual projects orbit around their approved plans. Programme Management helps to organise, manage, accommodate and control these changes so that the eventual outcome meets the objectives set by the business strategy.
