Programme Management involves the complex management of multiple projects (or indeed multiple sub-programmes). Each of these projects has its own objectives, risks, teams, customers, issues, reporting requirements, benefits and so on. Multiply this complexity across all the sub-projects and then ensure that the overall programme objectives are being met. Now ensure that all of this is running on time and to budget and the chances of success are reduced. More time is then spent gathering the data for upward reporting than working on the programme itself.

That's where we come in. With properly designed programme management solutions the data is gathered and presented as usable information. This Programme Management software solution is called Aspyre.

Aspyre is a Programme Management software solution which enables you to take control of your programmes and the multiple projects within them. Aspyre uses a very special technique of representing key business information in a bubble array. This easy view allows the user to gauge important comparisons between programmes and projects at a glance and to drill down in to the issues raised.

The size of the bubble and its position on the graph allows comparison over 3 parameters. These parameters are user definable but could show risk, business benefit, difficulty, cost, effort, time to deliver and so on.

This comparison, which can be changed at the click of a mouse, allows for better programme and project selection by taking account of multiple factors at one time.
