Improving Programme and Project Delivery - Background
A programme of Improving Programme and Project Delivery was established in Whitehall in September 2001 as part of the agenda to improve the Civil Service's capability and capacity to deliver Government programmes, projects and policies. One of the main strands implemented across Whitehall Departments, under the co-ordination and guidance of the Office of Government Commerce (OGC), has been the establishment of "Centres of Excellence" for programme and project delivery. Each Centre of Excellence has a strategic role in providing leadership and a focus for improving programme and project delivery skills and knowledge within their Department.
The Scottish Government formed its own Centre of Expertise for Programme and Project Management in 2002 to implement the aims of IPPD. The Centre of Expertise is an authorised full-service OGC Gateway™ provider and manages the Scottish Government's Gateway Review™ programme.
OGC Gateway™ is a Trade Mark of the Office of Government Commerce, and is used here by the Scottish Government Gateway Hub with the permission of the Office of Government Commerce.
This websection has two main objectives:
- To provide information on the OGC Gateway Review™ process and support documentation for Gateway Review™ administration.
- To provide a resource for guidance on Good Practice in Programme and Project Management
