APM Programme Management Specific Interest Group (ProgM SIG)

"Programme management is the co-ordinated management of projects and change management activities to achieve beneficial change."
APM Body of Knowledge, 6th edition, section 1.1.2

Programme management is focused on the delivery of change within an organisation or environment. The transition from projects delivering outputs to embedding new working practices as business as usual, requires a planned and systematic approach necessitating leadership, drive and commitment.

Our strategy will be delivered using the lens of the APM FIVE Dimensions of Professionalism, namely:

Breadth (Body of Knowledge: concepts, terms & activities that make up a professional domain including publications & articles)

Depth (Competence framework – knowledge & experience under technical, behavioural & contextual domains)

Achievement (Qualifications, especially programme-related, aligned to IPMA's 4 level certification)

Commitment (CPD - Events broad range of BoK topic areas & appropriate delivery methods)

Accountability (Delivery of services to ProgM / APM members & SIG communications)

Our vision:

• To be recognised internationally as the leading group for programme management, supporting a world in which all projects succeed.

Our mission:

In line with APM regulations the mission of ProgM is:

• To provide a forum for effective learning and development, that promotes the science, discipline, tools and techniques of programme management

Our members coach, facilitate and speak on programme management topics at conferences and events, thereby sharing knowledge, experience and good practice. ProgM SIG is digitally-savvy and particularly active in writing blogs, participating in online-forums and using social media.

ProgM SIG is open to new ideas; always listening to, and learning from, others. We welcome contributions from all members of the community of practice.
