PRINCE2program

PRINCE2 programs are a structured approach to managing multiple related projects that contribute to a common business objective. The PRINCE2 program management methodology, often referred to as Managing Benefits, focuses on delivering strategic outcomes and benefits rather than just individual project deliverables. It emphasizes a clear organizational structure with defined roles and responsibilities, ensuring that the program is steered effectively and that projects remain aligned with the overall business vision.

A PRINCE2 program is typically initiated when a strategic objective requires the coordinated effort of several projects. It recognizes that projects operate in an environment that can change and therefore incorporates mechanisms for ongoing review and adaptation. Key elements include the identification and management of program-level risks, issues, and dependencies, as well as the continuous assessment of the program's viability and benefits realization. The methodology provides a framework for planning, controlling, and closing programs, ensuring that they are delivered efficiently and effectively. Unlike project management, which focuses on the "what" and "how" of specific outputs, program management with PRINCE2 addresses the "why" and the "what for," ensuring that the collective investment delivers the desired business transformation.
