In the 1980s, the United Kingdom led the world in the emerging techniques for project management. In the first decade of the third millennium, the UK leads the world in programme management thinking and this is reflected in the "Gower Handbook of Programme Management". Programme management involves managing a portfolio of projects that deliver organizational change of strategic significance. Whilst project management focuses on the delivery of products, programme management emphasises the delivery of change and business benefits. The techniques involved, which emerged in the mid-nineties, solve many of the perceived shortcomings of traditional project management, especially within the high-technology sector, by delivering organisational improvements in a predictable and efficient manner. The Handbook is packed with authoritative guidance and advice, templates, concepts, systems and approaches on every aspect of successful programme management from programme accounting to governance and from internal communications to benefits management. The Programme Maturity Model (Section Four of the Handbook) provides a rigorous set of methodologies for measuring and improving your organization's ability to deliver effective change. The Programme Management Improvement process is a step-by-step guide to improving an organizations ability to deliver change. Section Two includes a comprehensive description of the whole programme management process. This is a definitive reference to Programme Management written by six of the most experienced practitioners in this area: Geoff Reiss, Malcolm Anthony, John Chapman, Geof Leigh, Paul Rayner and Adrian Pyne.
