Program & Project Management

Organizations worldwide undertake projects/ programs worth billions of dollars each year across diverse sectors to bring forth new products and services or improve existing ones. According to  independent assessments, a significant number of projects/programs are known to be delayed, or have cost overruns, or failed. In this context, Project and Program Management, as an independent discipline, has been gaining increasing recognition as a critical differentiators for better business performance.

As the focus moves from project management success, through project success, to consistent project success, a completely new set of criteria comes into play, as adjudged by different groups of stakeholders. They continuously seek to know:

	Was the project done right?
	Was the right project done?
	Were the right projects done right, time after time?

The project portfolios are becoming large and complex with each passing day and focusing on the right spots can help assess and predict in order to take corrective actions timely.
