PROGRAMME MANAGEMENT
One programme, one truth.
A programme fails when its parties are each working from a different version of the plan. The programme office exists to hold one version, and to make disagreement visible early rather than at handover.
Capability
One programme, one truth.
Programme Office
A single point holding scope, schedule, cost and risk across every workstream.
Interface Management
The gaps between separately procured packages, which is where most programmes actually fail.
Executive Coordination
Reporting to the level that can decide, at the cadence decisions are needed, not the cadence reports are easy.
Change Control
Scope change assessed for cost, time and risk before it is accepted rather than after it is absorbed.
Escalation
A defined route and threshold, so problems reach authority while they are still cheap.
