Abstract

This article will present an introduction to the term programmification and explain where and how it deviates from projectification. The term programmification is devised "... the establishment of programmes and portfolios of programmes as a mechanism for managing in organisations." ^[1]. When an organisation moves from functional management to project management, it is called projectification. ^[2]. An organisation can have multiple projects running at the same time, and/or in a sequence, the organisation would at some point realize the need for additional management of these projects and introduce programs and portfolios of programs. This is programmification. Programmification introduces a variety of beneficial managerial tools different from project management tools, however implications from introducing programs are to be considered and these aspects of programmification will be explained in this article.
