Sub-Specialisms in Project and Programme Management

At McGregor Boyall, our Project and Programme Management recruiters identify and select skilled professionals who can manage projects or programmes effectively.

Project and Programme Management are two related but distinct sub-specialisms within the field of management. Project Management involves the planning, execution, monitoring, and control of a specific project to achieve its objectives within a set timeline and budget. Some sub-specialisms within project management include agile project management, construction project management, IT project management, and project portfolio management. Programme Management, on the other hand, involves the management of multiple related projects that are aimed at achieving a broader set of objectives or benefits. Some sub-specialisms within programme management include benefits management, stakeholder management, risk management, and governance.

With our consultants based in the UK and Europe, the Middle East and North America regions, we can assist international organisations and businesses looking to expand into overseas markets, helping them access the long-term benefits a robust governance strategy can provide.

Responsible for overseeing the entire project lifecycle from its initial planning phases through to implementation, project managers ensure that they deliver on their client’s requirements in a timely manner, ensuring that all anticipated work is included within the scope and is budgeted for adequately.
