Planning Wrap-up
Explore the essentials of wrapping up the program planning phase, including creating a centralized program hub, formalizing the transition to execution, and recognizing common planning mistakes. This lesson helps you develop skills to improve team alignment, reduce risks, and move your program confidently into execution.
We'll cover the following...
Create a program hub
At this point in the program lifecycle, you have created the program charter and the program plan. The program plan adds at least three new artifacts:
The WBS
The roadmap
The RAID log
Both the charter and the plan contain critical information for many stakeholders. Time to flex your organizational skills as a technical program manager! You have the responsibility to make all the program artifacts easily discoverable.
Centralize these artifacts into some sort of program hub for easy discoverability.
This can be accomplished in multiple ways: a shared drive, a doc providing links to everything, a landing page within Confluence, and so on. Whatever method you choose, ensure everyone can access the one-stop shop for program information.
