Key Benefits
Program Management
provides a focal point within the functional organization for the project
management processes. In this
manner it ensures that a consistency in approach to project planning
(including the selection of use of development life cycles), the tracking
and oversight and that the information related to and results of projects
are retained in the organizational memory. Program Management maintains the
organizational view of the projects, through common evaluation methods,
standardized reporting processes and co-ordination of the investment
(maintained through the architectural view), based on the business and
technical strategies.
