Programme - component projects (project portfolio)

Purpose:

To list the projects that are or will be part of the programme.

Fitness for purpose checklist:

  • Have all component project been identified?
  • Do the objectives of each project contribute to the delivery of the aim of the programme?
  • Are the interdependencies of the projects clearly understood?
  • Is the high level project information included? 

Suggested content:

  • List of component projects
  • Outline project information such as target timescales, resources required and objectives 

Source information:

  • Blueprint 

Notes:

There should be a set of Project Plans for the constituent projects in each of the authorised change programmes. Each project plan should be supported by a high level business case and should clearly show the timescales, resource requirements and interdependencies of the project activities. Associated with each project plan will be a set of activities which recognise and seek to mitigate external risks (Risk Plan).
