Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to direct the integration of all functions of project management in a program or multiple-project context, as well as directing the internal project environment to meet external needs and expectations, and directing projects within a program throughout their life cycle.It applies to individuals who are program managers, managing a suite of projects (a program).No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Direct integration of all functions of project management
  • Support project managers in project stakeholder analysis to determine influence of others on project outcomes
  • Analyse, rationalise and integrate requirements of all projects, and interrelationships of project management functions, to determine agreed, achievable program objectives that align to organisational goals, strategies and objectives as stated in strategic planning documentation
  • Review, rationalise and, when approved, integrate project plans into a structured, cohesive program plan for program management
  • Derive integrated program-control mechanisms from project plans, to establish program-control requirements
  • Use project plans to develop consolidated program budgets, schedules and interdependencies, and to identify program risks
       
Element: Direct internal project environment to meet external needs and expectations
  • 2.1 Ensure project managers' work is conducted effectively throughout multiple, aligned project life cycles
  • Establish and maintain links to direct alignment between projects and organisational objectives within the program
  • Evaluate project proposals (scope definitions) against organisation’s strategic objectives
  • Coordinate and direct conflicting requirements of individual projects to achieve program objectives
  • Modify, where necessary, individual project objectives to achieve overall program objectives
  • Coordinate impact of external environmental influences on individual projects to achieve program objectives
       
Element: Direct projects throughout project life cycles
  • Direct all project managers to provide project phases, approval points, review points and other milestones, to allow program integration
  • Establish project baselines and report progress in relation to these baselines, to measure program performance throughout business reporting cycle
  • Progressively review project baselines to ensure nominated benefits are consistent with organisational expectations
  • Direct finalisation plans, procedures and activities to ensure final outcomes are met, and projects meet agreed program objectives
  • Review finalised projects in a program-management reporting period to evaluate benefits to the business
  • Pass on integration-management lessons learnt to higher project authority and provide feedback for application to other projects

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
