Program management brings several advantages to public agencies. First, it allows its existing full-time staff to continue addressing the agency’s daily needs without the distraction of capital project management. Second, it better ensures the timely delivery of projects since the Program Manager is focused on their completion. Third, it removes the need to reassign or eliminate staff when the capital projects program is completed. A professional Program Manager offers specialized expertise for a project delivery system. The Program Manager is fully accountable for the successful management of the project delivery system.
