Overview of Managing Successful Programmes™ (MSP)

Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) is a structured yet flexible framework. It allows you to manage and control all the activities involved in managing a programme through providing advice on organisation, processes, communication and ways of thinking. There is a close link between MSP and PRINCE2™.

A programme is made up of a number of projects, which, if co-ordinated or integrated into the programme, are more likely to help your organisation achieve its strategic goals and deliver measurable benefits.

What can MSP deliver?

Managing Successful Programmes is definitive guidance in managing inter-related projects as a co-ordinated programme of business change in order to manage risks and benefits more effectively. Managing Successful Programmes is widely adopted in the public and private sectors, and developed by a consortium of over 100 organisations including from within services industries.

MSP is a best practice guide that helps organisations coordinate and plan all projects so that they support each other and are allocated the necessary resources. It helps:

Plan projects to support the programme
Deliver projects on time and on budget
Define responsibilities and lines of communication
Break down initiatives into clearly defined projects and offer a framework for handling them
Involve interested stakeholders
Manage risk and ensure the programme responds to change
Audit and maintain quality

How does MSP work?

MSP complements the approaches and methodologies laid out in PRINCE2. MSP will show you how to:

Develop a clear view of the programme's aims and identify its benefits
Define the programme and show how it will affect and change the organisation
Create a strong framework for monitoring and coordinating the various projects within the programme
Ensure the programme moves forward
Manage the impact of the programme on the organisation
Close the programme, ensuring it has achieved its ends and its successes are acknowledged
