What does program management mean?

Program management is an overarching approach to managing multiple projects within an organisation. It involves the coordination of activities and resources across multiple projects in order to ensure the successful delivery of a program of work. Program management is focused on the strategic goals of the program and assists with the management of multiple projects by setting and monitoring program objectives, budget, schedule, and quality. It also helps to ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget.

A program aims to realise benefits that contribute to the organisation's strategic goals.
