MSP is the worlds most widely-adopted programme management method, used by people and organizations from wide-ranging industries and sectors.

The Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) guidance explains the programme management principles, governance themes and transformational flow that should be applied to the management of programmes or transformational change in any environment.

The purpose of the foundation qualification is to determine whether a candidate has sufficient knowledge and understanding of the MSP guidance to interact effectively with those involved in the management of a programme or act as an informed member of a programme office, business change team or project delivery team working within an environment supporting MSP. The foundation qualification is also a pre-requisite for the practitioner qualification.

The purpose of the practitioner qualification is to determine whether a candidate has sufficient knowledge and understanding of the MSP guidance to apply the guidance to their own work and, hence, act as an informed member of a programme management team. That is, someone responsible for managing, leading, supporting or advising on work within an MSP environment. Candidates should be capable of applying the MSP guidance in a relatively uncomplicated programme within an environment that uses MSP.

This package is accredited for andcovers both Foundation and Practitioner level study and qualification.

Why adopt MSP?

Today's organizations exist in a climate of constant and increasing change. Organizations that have learned how to transform themselves through effective leadership and strategic control are more likely to survive and prosper. Programme management is increasingly being recognized as key to enabling organizations to manage that transformation.

Where there is major change there will be complexity, risk, many interdependencies to manage and conflicting priorities to resolve. Organizations are unlikely to be able to deliver change successfully where:

• There is insufficient board-level support

• Leadership is weak

• There are unrealistic expectations of the organizational capacity and capability to change

• There isinadequatefocus on benefits

• There is no real picture of the future capability

• There is a poorly defined or poorly communicated vision

• The organization fails to change culture

• There isnot enoughengagement of stakeholders.

MSP provides a structured framework and approach to programme management that can help organizations avoid these pitfalls and achieve their goals.
