Works Programme Management
Works Programme Management
What
Works Programme Management is the Process of managing a group of projects. A Works Programme is sometimes known as a "Project Portfolio".
Works Programme Management tends to be mainly concerned with the co-ordination across all of the projects to ensure that everything is being addressed consistently and nothing is being forgotten.
Works Programme Management tends to have a greater business focus (and less technical focus).
