Code of Practice for Programme Management in the Built Environment. Second edition
This second edition of the Code of Practice for Programme Management in the Built Environment is a natural development from the first edition and builds on the recently published 6th edition of the highly successful Code of Practice for Project Management for the Built Environment.
The sixth edition for Project Management continues to provide the relevant guidance and procedural requirements for the successful management of individual projects. This second edition of Programme Management further develops the elements of functionality and procedures specific to the management and successful delivery of a number of related projects within the built environment, focussed at the programme level on the coordinated creation of value, which presents itself as a trade-off in the relationship between:
- Benefits and outcomes (via outputs);
- Risks and opportunities;
- Requirements and objectives (incl. cost and time).
Authored and supported by industry and government experts in the field.
This article appears on the CIOB Academy website as 'Code of Practice for Programme Management in the Built Environment. Second edition'.
