Effective project and programme management helps to improve outcomes through “setting agreed goals and milestones, and regularly assessing progress; clarity of accountability, roles and responsibilities at all levels; transparent reporting of progress and problems – so that remedial action can be taken in good time; and offering a framework within which to balance risk and capability. The best results come from an intelligent application of principles to suit the nature and scale of the task in hand.” (Improving rogramme and Project Management Delivery, Office of Public Sector Reform) Robust programme and project management is an essential component in successfully delivering outcomes. Organisations which integrate effective programme and project management methodologies, tools and techniques across their operations, which assess and address their management maturity and capabilities, have been found to achieve more successful outcomes.
This two-week programme will enhance participants’ skills in providing effective strategies and practical tools and techniques for the management and development of public and private sector programmes and projects. These tools and techniques are designed to be highly flexible and wide-ranging in order to meet organisational needs across the programme and project management spectrum, from relatively simple performance improvement projects through to complex multi-million dollar national capacity-building programmes.
