Programme Management is the co-ordinated management of a portfolio of projects that change organisations to achieve benefits that are of strategic importance.

Programme Management brings related projects together to manage their inter-dependencies. Programme Management maintains a strategic view over the set of projects, aligning and co-ordinating them within a programme management programme of business change in support of specific business strategies.

Programme Management provides the framework for implementing business strategies and initiatives, or large scale change. Programme Management helps to organise, manage, accommodate and control these changes.

Programme Management is a structured framework for defining and implementing change within an organisation. The programme management framework covers organisation, processes, outputs and ways of thinking that focus on delivering new capabilities and benefits.

The new capabilities programme management offers may be services, service improvements, working practices or products that are developed and delivered by projects. The programme management programme selects or commissions projects, providing the overall co-ordination, control and integration of the projects' delivery.

Programme Management includes the process of managing benefits from their initial identification and definition through to the eventual realisation and achievement of measurable improvements. The driver for a programme management programme is the ongoing viability and relevance of the programme's Business Case and the justification of benefit against costs.
