When trying to successfully execute a complex programme this type of conversation can be all too familiar and can take a programme from on-schedule and on-budget to the opposite end of the spectrum very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Program Management? <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Program management is a process that allows teams to create a system of projects aimed at accomplishing a singular goal. This connection between individual projects creates alignment towards larger major goals within an organisation and ensures that an organisation can focus all efforts towards increasing efficiency and success.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing programme management systems allows for a comprehensive view of the entire program, making unified goals easier to accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Program Manager\u2019s Role?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The programme manager\u2019s responsibility is to have knowledge of all the projects and to make sure that various project\u2019s goals do not interfere with one another. This means that the programme manager will have a 360-degree view of the programme and be sure that the projects are working in concert to achieve a singular goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program managers oversee the activities with a bird\u2019s eye view. They are able to look at them from the perspective of the entire organisation. There should be an understanding that projects should not be completed just for the sake of it. This allows for a more efficient use of time and resources. Program management allows for the ability to process project requests from an organisational standpoint and to make sure that projects are getting the proper returns. This leads to lower costs overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program managers can help prevent examples like this from occurring. The programme manager is responsible for working directly with the core project management teams to assemble a master project schedule. He or she is responsible for ensuring accountability for all team members and for driving<\/em> the project to completion. Part of this duty is to develop a list of potential obstacles that could impede operations such as resource requirements, inventory obstacles, budget constraints, cash flow issues, scheduling conflicts, workforce safety, labour relations and insurance requirements. This aspect of the programme manager\u2019s role is critical. The identification of gaps, which may not have been considered by the individual project managers can quickly bring the implementation to a halt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, programme managers are essential in coordinating implementation efforts. They will manage daily project activities and general conditions, enforce safety programs, coordinate labour relations, implement time and cost control systems, approve progress payments and administer contract changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, project start-up and closeout are conducted under the watchful eye of the programme manager. Systems validation of punch lists, testing, employees training and demonstration of contract requirements all occur at the project go-live. When it is time to close out the project the programme manager must administer project closeout with the various vendors involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
