Purpose
Use this plan to integrate how the programme will be managed, monitored, controlled and closed. It directs the allocation and use of resources, defines the programme's deliverables and benefits and coordinates the subsidiary plans that govern each management domain.
Application
Approval authorizes programme execution and benefit delivery within the defined baselines and tolerances. Subsidiary plans may be attachments or consolidated within this document. Refine the plan throughout the lifecycle and use it to guide component managers. If components were already active when the programme formed, reconcile their existing plans with the programme approach.
Completion discipline
Complete the document from current evidence, name its owner and approving authority, and link the plans, registers or decisions that support it. Retain approved versions and review the document whenever a material assumption, dependency, requirement or governance decision changes.
