Kursinnhold

Delivered by fully accredited trainers and industry leading experts who have extensive experience using MSP, the course includes a relevant, modern case study to help delegates understand how to apply the MSP way of managing programmes in the real world. There is also plenty of opportunity for participants to present their exercise results and discuss them with the rest of the class, thus gaining further knowledge from many different points of view, in many different industries.

About MSP
Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) was developed as a best practice guide on Programme Management. The guide comprises a set of Principles and a set of Processes for use when managing a program. MSP represents proven programme management best practice in the successful delivery of transformational change through the application of programme management. MSP is very flexible and designed to be adapted to meet the needs of local circumstances.

The MSP framework is based on three core concepts:

• MSP Principles. These are derived from positive and negative lessons learned from programme experiences. They are the common factors that underpin the success of any transformational change.
• MSP Governance Themes. These define an organization's approach to programme management. They allow an organization to put in place the right leadership, delivery team, organization structures and controls, giving the best chance for success.
• MSP Transformational Flow. This provides a route through the lifecycle of a programme from its conception through to the delivery of the new capability, outcomes and benefits.

Audience

• Newly appointed programme managers who may have a background in managing projects, but have not previously operated in a transformational change environment.
• Senior managers who will “sponsor” the change, or perhaps be held accountable for its success.
• Operational managers charged with embedding the change in their area.
• Operational staff undertaking a role in the programme or related projects.
• Programme office staff (PMO) wishing to build upon their project management knowledge.
• Experienced project managers.
• Those seeking a professional qualification in programme management.
