The Unit adopts programme management processes and governance arrangements to ensure successful delivery of its investment pipeline.
* The Unit has oversight of its portfolio of existing and potential projects, but does not necessarily manage them as a programme. The Unit has governance arrangements over the approval and funding of new projects.
** Similar projects within its wider portfolio are grouped according to their commonalities, and some programme management principles are applied to these.
*** The Unit applies robust programme management disciplines to all its work. It views its projects as a flow of related deliveries, building towards a united purpose. It uses programme management disciplines both to add value to projects and to aid it in ensuring that the policy objectives are achieved.
