Connected delivery

A program approach centred on dependencies, ownership and useful governance.

The question

A set of individual project plans does not automatically create a program plan. Look at the connections between workstreams and clarify which decisions need to be made together.

The approach

Map dependencies, agree ownership and establish a practical escalation path. Keep reporting focused on the information decision-makers need, including uncertainties that could affect other teams.

The decision

Review the overall delivery sequence as circumstances change. Keep the organisational objective visible and explain why a change is needed, who owns it and what it affects.
