So let's look at program management and project management in a bit more depth specifically in these
slides.
We'll be looking at their responsibilities regarding control planning success and leadership.
So the level of control that program manager has is is quite high level.
They control the projects.
The idea is that those projects set within their program and that program has a name of delivering a
certain business benefits the project manager on the one hand controls the tasks within their projects
in order to make sure that they meet us and deliver a certain output.
So when it comes to plan in the project manager will plan a creative project plan and they will plan
those tasks and deliver that that's output.
They'll create milestones and they'll be reporting periods I will report back to the program manager
the program manager on the one hand will plan strategically at a very high level to make sure that the
different projects within their remit are delivering the benefits that they need to deliver in order
to deliver the overall strategic aim.
The program manager is measured on the success of the benefit that they've delivered and the return
on investment that they've they've got from that strategic benefit whereas the project managers success
is measured on their ability to deliver their outputs on time to budgets and within scope and finally
to look at leadership the program manager sits in a higher level is again more strategic and they will
guide and the strategic planning of the projects are citizens of them in order to meet that business
benefits they'll money's a lot more political things political aspects and relationships between the
projects and the project managers themselves.
Whereas the project manager will be responsible for lead in their team in order to produce that specific
output.
So they'll be measured on their ability to deliver on time the output that they need to deliver.
So hopefully that's a little bit more clear about the two different roles between the two.
Mostly just think of program management as having a more high level strategic chain of responsibility
and the project manager be more task and specific output focused in the next slide will have a look
a little bit further are the differences between the two.
