Hi Denathayalan,
The benefits you are thinking or have listed is mostly within project and how effectively you use resources. This is one of the benefits of program management.
However, the important and other benefits (realization) of program management are as follows:
Achieving the overall strategic goals of an organization.
For example, an infrastructure waterworks programme includes one project for a gravity network and another for a pumping station to enable connection to existing systems
Improve management of projects interdependencies and impact on the business as usual.
Program management enables organizations to oversee the interconnection between different projects in the program. That enables organizations to manage these projects efficiently in a manner that will avoid radical impact.
For example, when I worked in commercial aviation industry for seats, we repaired seats or made modification kits only when plane was grounded for a month for some other major repairs. (Strategic thinking and using the time slot when plane is grounded). Without impacting revenue or everyday operations.
Effectively managing resources among projects within a programme.
Programme management enables organisations to effectively manage individual resources when there is conflict in demand.
For example, within an infrastructure projects, stakeholders requested prioritizing the pavement of one road, accordingly all the utilities within that road should be laid prior to the pavement works.
Manage risks, issues and changes across the programme efficiently. Risks, and lessons learnt are well communicated across the projects in a programme through networks, share points, staff experience…etc. Which I think you already do.
Focus on definition and management of strategic benefits. Programme combine projects having the same vision, objectives, and goals to be managed together under one umbrella. For example, vision of a programme may be “Being largest infrastructure company in the world” projects that will contribute to that vision will be in such as mega infrastructure project.
