What is Programme Assurance?
Programme assurance is a process that ensures a defined programme meets its objectives and delivers value to the organisation. It involves various activities and checks designed to assess the health, progress, and quality of the programme.
These include:
- Governance and Oversight: Ensuring that management of the programme is in line with established governance structures and frameworks.
- Risk Management: Identifying and mitigating risks early, reducing the likelihood of issues that could derail the program. By proactively managing risks, the program can adapt and respond to challenges more effectively.
- Quality Assurance: Checking that the deliverables meet the required standards and stakeholder expectations.
- Performance Monitoring: Overseeing progress, budget, and resource usage. Compliance: Making sure that the programme adheres to relevant laws, regulations, and organisational policies.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Engaging with stakeholders to demonstrate that the program is being managed effectively and delivering value.
- Continuous Improvement: Conducting regular reviews and assessments to provide insights into what’s working well and what isn’t.
