So let's look at the differences between a program and a project in terms of how they measured their
scope and time.
OK.
So the way that they're measured a program being strategic is measured on its benefits the benefits
it delivers to the organization.
It's about doing the right things whereas a project is about doing things right.
So a program is about starting the right kind of projects in order to deliver a strategic goal.
Projects on the other hand is there to deliver the specifics of that projects as sets out and the project
mandates.
And it's about doing the things right in order to in order to deliver that projects within time and
on budget so looking at scope this is how the scope is affected.
A program obviously is a lot wider scope because it contains lots of different projects within it.
And it is there to meet the overall strategic objective whereas the project is there to manage the the
specific task outputs.
So it's a much narrower scope it's set to deliver one main deliverable over time.
Well again the program is more strategic.
Therefore it has a longer time frame.
You could argue when the strategy the end.
Well the answer to that would be when that particular strategy is deemed no longer necessary for the
success of the organization or business but a strategy can keep on evolving.
And obviously the program has many different projects within it.
So projects can start up and close down while some programs run in.
So the program has a lot longer time span projects.
On the other hand has a shorter time span.
It's set up specifically to deliver a particular output and it has a project plan which aims to deliver
the output on a certain deliverable date.
So it has a much shorter time span.
Again projects starts up and closed down within the program.
And therefore the shorter than the overall end for the program.
So hopefully that clears up a bit more about the differences between a program and a projects that's
how a never look more in-depth in what a program is and the benefits that it is set up to achieve for
the organization.
See you in the next slide.
