Program Management QuickStart©

Project managers help lead teams, and most organizations realize the importance of having internal project managers. True program managers are much harder to find. Telesto Group not only provides exceptional program managers, but they also provide a repeatable methodology to ensure the quality standard that has become synonymous with Telesto Group.

Program vs. Project
While projects can be complex in nature, they typically involve a team that is focused on a singular goal. Programs bring together multiple goals and teams to focus on an organization-wide initiative.

The degree of complexity of a program grows exponentially as more components of an organization are included or as the number of business objectives increases.

What is Failure?
Programs are perceived to fail when they do not meet the defined deadlines or budgets. The hidden failures are more pervasive and dangerous to the organization. These are caused by a failure of adoption of the system, process, and organizational changes. While willingness is the most frequently blamed, the top reasons organizations fail to adopt change are a lack of readiness and a lack of understanding.
