A programme of work is a series of projects that individually delivers specific business objectives. Programme management is a challenge for any organisation as it typically involves change with associated heightened risk.

At a programme level, failure is not an option for organisations, as the business case is inevitably overwhelming and the reward for success is enormous. However, organisations tend to keep their projects to a minimum, and, therefore, do not maintain a pool of internal resource, with the appropriate skills, to programme manage them.

• Risk is monitored and managed to ensure that the impact is minimised and that key issues are brought to the steering group in a timely way.
• The critical path is monitored to ensure the interlocking of projects is kept on track.
