  • Make project authorisation recommendations to relevant authority as basis for future project management activities, and commitment of resources and effort
       
Element: Define and plan program scope
  • Define projects’ objectives, major deliverables and resource requirements at project and program level, and confirm with governance group or relevant authority
  • Determine and agree measurable project outcomes and benefits to enable quantified evaluation of program performance
  • Develop, agree on, and communicate scope definition, scope management strategies, and plans
  • Align program scope to business requirements and organisational strategy
       
Element: Manage program scope
  • Conduct regular program reviews to measure project performance and ensure stated program and business/strategic objectives are met
