Introduction

A program is an umbrella under which multiple related projects are planned for execution to facilitate common oversight / governance. For example, demands and projects that are identified / planned to meet a common goal / vision could be grouped under a Program. This would facilitate an integrated view while reviewing, planning, execution and governing such demands & projects. The application administrator can define the strategic programs of the organisation.
