Programme management

These include:

• ensuring that resource utilisation is optimised across the portfolio of projects.
• ensuring that risks and interdependencies are managed across the programme.
• managing the effects on the whole programme, of changes that occur in each project.
• re-adjustment of priorities across related projects as circumstances change.
• commitment to the successful completion of client programmes.
• strong communications and reporting.

• Case study: Ministry of Justice - providing change management services for a number of complex change programmes
• Case study: Highways Agency - providing programme management and sensitive handling of stakeholder issues
• Case study: Department for Transport - providing strategic programme management support to a critical change programme
• Case study: NHS Connecting for Health - providing service transformation support to the NHS Integrated Service Improvement Programme

AMTEC's approach to programme management is structured and thorough. It uses our Delivery Framework to provide guidance and tools to further enhance the hands-on experience of our programme managers. Once initiated, projects can assume a life of their own and project managers can lose sight of the programme objectives among the day-to-day challenge of running projects. Our approach combines a system of metrics and controls with information sharing and skills transfer to shape and direct the programme as the scenario develops.
