Programme - Praxis Framework

The programme agenda provides a focal point for delivering strategic and tactical programme objectives.

It identifies delivery entities (e.g. projects and workstreams) and coordinates these along with management teams. It addresses the provision of resources and funding for development, delivery, business change and benefit realisation.

The programme must be ready to respond to shifts in portfolio priorities, changes in the environment and risk that emerges during delivery. It must also address stakeholder satisfaction and assure the management of its component entities.

The programme agendas will result in decisions about programme life cycle gates, subordinate business cases and the continuation of projects and workstreams. It will consider rebalancing actions for deployment of funds and resources within the programme, specific actions or decisions in response to issues and risks and escalations to portfolio or finance where necessary.
