Programme Management Consultancy

Scoll’s programme managers are fully trained to use the Managing Successful Programmes (MSP™) method but bring their experience of what works in practice to the use of the method.

Programme managers need to be able to co-ordinate the management of a dossier of projects to achieve the business change needed to provide strategic benefits. The ability to communicate effectively, manage expectations and motivate project managers is key to the success of programmes.

The main responsibilities of programme managers are to ensure that the programme delivers the required projects within the agreed timescales and budgets and to the requisite quality.
