Post 10 - When should you switch from Project to Program Management?

I came across an interesting Capterra article discussing when you know you need to switch from project to program management.




So, when should you switch to program management? 

Here are three reasons you might need to:

1. Your projects aren’t building off one another - For example; Lessons learned aren’t shared with other teams, surplus resources aren’t strategically reallocated, and follow-up projects aren’t planned.

2. Project resources aren’t shared -  For example; Project A is short-staffed and in danger of missing deadline, while Project B is over budget and over-staffed because of poor planning and lack of communication.

3. Individual project managers aren’t collaborating or supporting one another - For example; you have strong project managers who run their individual projects successfully, but you’re not meeting organisational goals because the projects aren’t aligned and teams aren’t sharing information with each other.

So, these are some interesting scenarios of when you might need to move from project to program management.
