Program management functions

Different program management functions are undertaken by special administrative officers who are responsible for successful running of administrative arrangements within company’s workflow. Let’s consider them with a help of brief comparison:

• Program vs. project – these practices have very much in common, so sometimes they are considered as synonyms. Probably all techniques and methods available in the project management can be successfully applied to driving organizational programs and to ensure them producing their positive effects during their entire lifecycle;
• Program vs. product – lifecycle used to manage business products (development, introduction, growth, mature, decline) is different from a program management’s one, as the program lifecycle includes: development, organization-launching (deployment), implementing–controlling (realization), decline (program closure);
• Program vs. portfolio – techniques used to control portfolio of projects or contracts can be also used for programs portfolio management (when company has a number of programs running within its workflow), such as getting consolidated overview, ongoing statusing of programs, interrelating their progress steps, etc;
• Program vs. risk – risk management is fully incorporated into the practice of program management as many different risks can arise on different stages of administrative program implementation, and mitigating them is a critical success factor;
