MAN6303 Program Management
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
Credit Points: 20
 
Description:
A program is a collection of change actions (projects and operational activities) grouped together to realise organisation-wide strategic benefits. One of the key differences between projects and programs is that a program will deliver resource and scheduling economies and organizational learning benefits that could not be achieved if projects are managed independently of each other. Programs themselves may be organised into diverse portfolios whose aim is to manage risk while achieving an overall desirable financial or strategic return. This unit will examine embedding program management in the organisational context, including engagement with the business, strategic business alignment and the challenges of multi-stakeholder management and resourcing. This unit focuses on managing multiple projects as a program, including strategic alignment of portfolios, programs and projects. The management of program and portfolio-related risks, particularly those associated with interdependencies between projects will be highlighted.
