“Don’t equate activity with efficiency.” — Harvey Mackay, American Businessman & Author

 

The above quote emphasizes the importance of executing tasks with efficiency.  To be efficient, you need to be focused on the desired goals and take measurable steps to achieve those goals. 

 

Program management can help with that. Program management is the process of managing programs associated with business goals with the aim of improving the overall performance of an organization. Program management is vastly different from project management as it focuses on multiple projects at a time. 

 

Usually, program management focuses on implementing strategic changes and ensuring that the changes are beneficial for multiple projects and the organization as a whole. 

 

Key Features of Program Management

 

  • Program management impacts business across different areas
  • The focus is always on benefitting the business and enhancing the business environment

  • They also include external inputs and constraints 
  • The programs also carry far higher strategic and financial risk
  • Program management either impacts business processes, people, or technology or all three of these 
  • Support of the top-level executives is essential in making program management successful
