Presentation Title
Presentation Title
Initiating a Program vs. a Project
TOPIC
Initiate as a Project When:
Initiate as a Program When:
No need for ‘sub-projects’
No need to repeat PM lifecycle in every Workstreams/Work-packages
Work required is clearly defined and does not require rolling-wave definition planning
Creating multiple projects and assigning a number of project managers becomes a burden
Low Complexity – work is straight-forward
High strategic significance / exposure
Need for multiple projects
Need for multiple phases
Managing the multiple projects collectively will give you greater benefit and/or control
Workstreams/Work-packages are
complex,
highly-ambiguous,
of large scope, and/or
require the application of project management lifecycle to each one
Benefits delivery is incremental throughout the initiative’s lifecycle
Benefits delivery will not occur unless the outcome of more than one project is integrated

31. Remember: it’s all about benefits delivery
