Program

A group of related projects, subsidiary programs, and activities managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits not available individually.

Definition

Program management focuses on interdependencies among components and on delivering benefits aligned to strategy. Program managers coordinate shared resources, resolve cross-project issues, and manage benefits realization over time.

Example

A smart-city program coordinates separate traffic-sensor, data-platform, and mobile-app projects to deliver reduced congestion.

Exam tip

If projects are related and share a common benefit, the answer is program, not portfolio.
