The document discusses key points about program management and leadership. It notes that a program manager has broader scope and less detail than a project manager, overseeing multiple phases, projects, and work streams. The value of program management is providing leadership, reducing risk, and achieving results by managing complexity. Common pitfalls include lack of clear roles, responsibilities, and alignment of information. Complex implementations require strong program management with cross-functional methodologies to succeed rather than being managed as independent activities. A program management office requires both program leadership and coordination functions.
This presentation was delivered as part of the corporate training that i conduct.
The sessions were for the project managers & Sr project managers, who are aspiring to be the program managers.
Program Management Offices (PgMOs) serve to provide portfolio, program and project management governance, policy, procedure, process, guidance, standards, tools, techniques, templates, methodologies, evaluation, risk, performance measurement, and reporting expertise in the role of a Center of Excellence. In implementing a PgMO, clients seek to ensure not only successful delivery of programs, projects and operations -- but also to obtain the benefits from a coordinated framework and methodology for continual improvement of program/project management, vendor management, ongoing operations management and resource management. Ideally, the proper setup, management, measurement & services offered at the PgMO will increase the likelihood of benefits realization within their organization and partner agencies.

As the large effort of a program, issues of conflict resolution, communication, benefit and change management are some of the main reasons program and project fails to delivery their outcomes.
The program governance integrates with the benefits management domain to help ensure that the program is continuously aligned with organizational strategy and that the intended value can still be achieved by the delivery of program benefits.
Balancing the elements of a program – strategic alignment, governance, stakeholder and benefit management - is the program manager's job.
In this presentation the attendees will have the satisfaction to see a real case framework to approach a program management so as to improve the delivery of intended benefits by setting-up a Project governance, stakeholder management, benefit and change management through a framework within which project decisions are made to improve program and project performances.

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION
This presentation provides an overview to Program Management. It broadly follows the PMI's standard for Program Management. This document describes the context of the program, how to initiate and control projects as a part of program lifecycle, how to manage transitions, and how to obtain outcomes towards benefits realization. It also describes the key roles involved in program management and how Program Governance Board can facilitate program success.
Programs are taken up to realize benefits towards achieving organizational strategic objectives. Whereas projects produce discrete outputs, program management focuses on their synergization towards obtaining of outcomes and benefits.
Portfolio management is a key linking factor between program management and the organizational strategy. Programs, in turn consist of multiple inter-related projects collectively creating a coherent capability, which are then transitioned to the concerned functional departments to obtain desired outcomes.
Is your business considering building a Program Management Office (PMO)? This slide depicts the questions to ask and tasks to address to successfully define, measure, analyze, improve and control a PMO.

Project management is the process of planning, organizing, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals and objectives within a defined timeline. It's a field that has become increasingly popular over the years, with more and more professionals choosing to specialize in this area. However, the question remains - is project management easy? In this article, we'll take a closer look at what project management entails, and whether it's a field that can be easily navigated.
Better Project Selection using Hoshin Planning and Balanced ScorecardsGrant Crow
Picking the right projects is key to maximizing the impact of an investment in lean six sigma. This presentation looks at how to combine best practices such as Hoshin Planning and Balanced Scorecards with Operational Excellence to create an improvement system that ensures that projects align with business objectives and drive execution of the desired results.
At the beginning of a six sigma journey, many companies choose projects driven by local agendas and problems. The focus tends to be tactical. This however can be a common trap. The company has invested in training of belts, staffing the function etc and the projects acted upon are tactical. This can lead to senior executives losing interest in six sigma as they are not seeing the link into their own strategic objectives.
So leaders need to be very clear in their articulation of what they are trying to achieve together with the assumptions behind this. The Hoshin X matrix concept is a very powerful tool to facilitate this and is used to capture and cascade goals and then enable tight alignment of initiatives to these goals. Once this has taken place, regular reviews need to take place and these are facilitated by bowling charts.These charts help the team to stay focused on the critical things even when day to day business tries to distract them.
Hoshin is really a systematic to get everybody focused on the achievement of clear objectives. The first step requires deciding on 3 - 5 medium term breakthrough objectives. We emphasize breakthrough as these objectives should not be business as usual. These are then converted into annual breakthrough objectives and in turn, these are cascaded either directly into supporting initiatives and projects or annual improvement priorities which are supported by projects. The process creates a red thread from the medium term objectives all the way down to the actions required to deliver on them, the responsible people and the KPI's (both leading and lagging) that will be used to measure progress.
Industry experts, Bob Prieto, veteran executive with Fluor and Parsons Brinckerhoff, and Hans Hoppe with Parsons, share valuable information on the failure points of Mega Projects and proven methods of managing these projects to beat the odds and succeed. It is estimated that 9 out of 10 projects that cost $1 billion dollars or more, go over budget. Learn how we as an industry can change those numbers and improve the way the world builds.

2. Program Management & Leadership
Key points highlighted in this presentation:
•
•
•
•
•
A program can consist of multiple phases, projects,
and work streams
The primary differences between Program
Management and Project Management is the depth
of detail and scope of responsibility
The value of Program Management is to provide
leadership, simplify complexity, reduce risk, and
achieve results
Complexity and risk of a program are difficult to
avoid when seeking significant change
And, complex projects often fail when you fail to
manage complexity…and, the cost of failed
expectations is high
o A common pitfall is the failure to align project roles
with specific names, specific deliverables, clear time
commitments, and, ultimately, results
o Another common pitfall is misunderstanding the
need and value of aligned information
•
Success of a complex DC implementation is difficult
unless managed as a program with strong
leadership, structured communication, and crossfunctional methodologies and deliverables
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A Program Management Office (PMO) requires
both the “right brain” soft skills of Program
Leadership and the “left brain” hard disciplines of
Program Coordination
A Program Leader acts more like a coach than a
cop
And, we apply soft skills, hard disciplines, and
proven tools to avoid common pitfalls and achieve
business results
The degree of Program Management needed is
proportional to the complexity of the business
solution and business stakeholder group
So, you cannot take a “one size fits all” approach…
instead, you tailor our approach based on need
The overall approach is simple: Initiate, Plan,
Manage, Close
And, the “secret sauce” is a rigorous
communication process to avoid common pitfalls

22. Program Management & Leadership
A summary of key takeaways for you from this presentation:
•
•
•
•
•
A program can consist of multiple phases, projects,
and work streams
The primary differences between Program
Management and Project Management is the depth
of detail and scope of responsibility
The value of Program Management is to provide
leadership, simplify complexity, reduce risk, and
achieve results
Complexity and risk of a program are difficult to
avoid when seeking significant change
And, complex projects often fail when you fail to
manage complexity…and, the cost of failed
expectations is high
o A common pitfall is the failure to align project roles
with specific names, specific deliverables, clear time
commitments, and, ultimately, results
o Another common pitfall is misunderstanding the
need and value of aligned information
•
Success of a complex DC implementation is difficult
unless managed as a program with strong
leadership, structured communication, and crossfunctional methodologies and deliverables
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A Program Management Office (PMO) requires
both the “right brain” soft skills of Program
Leadership and the “left brain” hard disciplines of
Program Coordination
A Program Leader acts more like a coach than a
cop
And, we apply soft skills, hard disciplines, and
proven tools to avoid common pitfalls and achieve
business results
The degree of Program Management needed is
proportional to the complexity of the business
solution and business stakeholder group
So, you cannot take a “one size fits all” approach…
instead, you tailor our approach based on need
The overall approach is simple: Initiate, Plan,
Manage, Close
And, the “secret sauce” is a rigorous
communication process to avoid common pitfalls
