One thing you MUST be very clear about... "Program Management is NOT Project Management". These are not just semantics but these two kinds of management are essentially different. Please read through the very first chapter of PMBOK Guide 5th Edition and you will find yourself much wiser.

Dear Anonymous,

In the most simplest form;

1 -Firstly, always plan what are the requirements for the project
2 -Write down the needs & the sub-related scopes related
3 -workout a complete project schedule
4 -From here onto, you already prepared & ready to engage the necessity team & time frame needed to run the the project

Scope lock, change request process, RAID a document that includes all meeting minutes with documented - risks, actions, issues & dependencies/decisions, a schedule and frequent review of with the team of where you are with the schedule. Each piece to be delivered assigned has been or is clearly assigned to individual owners (never multiple owners) for each task or action or issue. If you give two people one task it neither will own it!

Baseline scope, Detailed requirement, and establish strong change management process from Day 1. This will ensure to stay on course. Define RAM and assign tasks to right resources.

"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."

- Douglas Adams
