Program (management)
|
|
A program or programme (in management) has at least two senses:
- A collection of projects that are directed toward a common goal, e.g., the NASA space program
- A broad framework of goals to be achieved, serving as a basis to define and plan specific projects, e.g. the EU's SAPARD Programme.
In international English, "program" is often often used with a technical meaning (like computer program), whereas the spelling "programme" is used in the sense of "collection of managed projects".
