Overview
Program Management (PM) is gaining importance
as a competency. This is amidst businesses trying to find a better way to manage portfolios of projects.
Projects are getting larger in size and heterogeneous in characteristics. The good news is PM is being recognized as a domain that needs design clarity with an added degree of standardization. Project Management Institute (PMI) and Office of Government Commerce-UK (OGC), independent fraternities in PM, have come up with standards and methodologies for PM.
Understanding the design of PM would require dealing with aspects of structure, governance, processes, and competencies. The science is complex when we see inter-relationships within these aspects and their manifestations in various project environments. Therefore, understanding PM design can be taken from various perspectives, with each throwing distinct light on its design elements. Here, we will attempt to understand PM design from the perspective of the cybernetic theory of organization structure, namely the Viable System Model.
