Objective
How to add programmes (i.e. project groups) to better organise your projects.
Background
A project is a construction effort with a defined start and end date with specific goals and objectives that, when obtained, signify completion of the project. A programme is a group of related construction projects that provide your organisation with benefits from managing projects as a group, over managing projects individually. There are countless ways to organise your company's projects into programmes, such as:
- Region. For example, you might create programmes for the four (4) regions of the U.S., such as 'Northeast', 'Midwest', 'South' and 'West.'
- Sector. For example, you might create programmes for the different construction sectors, such as 'Buildings', 'Infrastructure' and 'Industrial.'
- Project Management. For example, you might create programmes for 'Internal Projects' and 'External Projects'.
