Connect Project to Project Program
Explanation
Use this activity to connect the project to a program, integrating the
project into a group of related projects that share common goals. A program
involves the coordinated management of multiple projects to achieve benefits
that would otherwise not be obtained. While projects focus on the efficient
creation of outputs such as products, services, or results, programs are
focused on delivering outcomes and realizing strategic benefits. This
connection ensures the project is part of a larger strategic framework,
enhancing its contribution to organizational goals.
Assigning a project to a program allows:
- Alignment of project activities with program objectives.
- Efficient resource sharing across projects.
- Enhanced communication and collaboration among project teams.
- Improved risk management through shared insights and strategies.
Better management of interdependencies between projects.
- Achievement of strategic benefits through coordinated efforts.
Prerequisites
- The program must already exist in Project Basic Data.
- The program must belong to the same company as the project.
System Effects
- As a result of this activity, the project is made part of the
program, allowing it to contribute to the program's strategic objectives
and benefit from coordinated management.
