Large programs and the management of these programs offer challenges when funding and staff are plentiful. Difficult economic realities multiply those challenges. Does this automatically mean that fewer programs should be started and that those underway should expect delays, overruns and a crisis atmosphere? “No Pain, No Gain” for programs — even with hard economic realities — is another heroic myth. This session provides ideas, practices and actionable advice for your large-scale programs to improve transparency, make decisions early, and set the right expectations.
