Project management - Role
Programme manager
The person who coordinates related projects so together they deliver a larger business outcome
What's it for?
Coordinates related projects so their timing, risks and outcomes support one larger change.
For example…
The workplace programme manager holds the laptop, identity, and collaboration projects to one go-live window so staff are not asked to change three tools in three months
A programme manager resolves a dependency where the CRM project needs customer data that the data programme will not otherwise deliver until later.
Think of it like…
Site manager on a street of renovations: each house is a project, but someone has to keep the road open and the utilities connected
