Using MSP in Your Organization

Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) provides a framework whereby large, complex change can be broken down into manageable, inter-related projects. For those managing this overall delivery, the principles of programme management are key to delivering on time and within budget.

MSP comprises a set of principles and processes for managing a programme which are founded on best practice although it is not prescriptive. It is very flexible and designed to be adapted to meet different needs and circumstances and has been adopted by both public and private sector organizations.
