MSP® Programme Management
Aims
MSP™ Managing Successful Programmes gives the framework and strategies for Programme Management, using the Office of Government Commerce approach for managing change and delivering business benefits from a set of related projects.The OGC Managing Successful Programmes method is flexible and adaptable for any type and size of programme where a business "vision" is the required outcome.
Programmes are becoming increasingly important as a management tool for integrating complex activities into a cohesive unit of focused effort and delivery. Programmes are set up to implement change in parts of an organisation, in the whole organisation, or across a group of organisations.
The drivers for change may be internal, such as improving the quality of products, or external, such as government policy. Programme Management begins with the alignment of these drivers into a set of business objectives and an overall vision of the programme. It covers the detailed definition of the programme, the management of the project portfolio, through to the delivery and realisation of measurable business benefits.
