Version 5.2 (November 2025)
The purpose of this Official Book is to:
- describe an adaptable set of programme management approaches, leading to the creation of outcomes of benefit in an incremental way
- provide an integrated framework that guides the work using three lenses:
- fundamental principles
- governance themes
-
processes across a programme lifecycle.
The guide is intended for those who are involved in the direction, management, support, and delivery of programme work. It will also be useful to those who sponsor programmes, lead programmes, manage projects or processes within a programme environment, or support programmes (e.g. by providing assurance or working in a programme office).
