[Updated April 2021 – MSP® 5th Edition]
Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®) represents proven good practice in the successful adoption of enterprise agility through the application of programme management. It is a framework whereby large, complex change can be broken down into manageable, inter-related projects.
Today’s organisations exist in a climate of constant and increasing change. Organisations 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 recognised as key to enabling organisations to manage that transformation.

MSP defines the roles and responsibilities of all who need to form part of the leadership of a programme. Effective leadership of a programme is achieved through informed decision-making and a flexible management regime. The key roles involved are:
There are three lenses to the MSP framework:
Principles – the common factors that underpin the success of any programme.
Themes – covering essential governance and controls.
Processes – an incremental lifecycle that is flexible and adaptable yet enables an orderly progression with clear decision criteria

[su_testimonial_box position=”Live Virtual Training, 2021″]Sue is an excellent trainer and one of the best that I have had the experience of learning from. Her style and pace of teaching was very conducive to learning and understanding the MSP principles, themes, processes and their relatedness. I really appreciated her talking through and drawing the diagrams as she explained key concepts as I learn best by having visual representations. [/su_testimonial_box]
