How it works
The service includes programme management aligned to Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) standards, project management using Agile or Waterfall methodologies, and rapid delivery options for smaller initiatives.
The service also supports early-stage planning through project initiation, providing delivery plans, outline business cases, and initiation documents which supports commissioning requests when required.
