Programme and Projects are a key way to deliver change in an organisation

Most medium to large organisations will run a portfolio of programmes and projects both within the financial year and across financial years in order to change the organisation to meet its goals.

Programmes and projects by their very definition are tackling challenges that are too broad for a single line management function to tackle.

They cross boundaries in an organisation and require cross functional support.

Programmes and projects can come from many sources both internal and external to the organisation.

The sources can be grouped under the 'Voices of the Stakeholders'.  Grouping programme ideas in this way leads to clear ownership and sponsorship of ideas and programmes and gives clarity to the challenge being addressed.

Creating 'Voice Statements' helps with gaining preliminary support for the idea and leads to the creation on an effective Project Charter which can drive and govern the programme of project.
