Optimise-GB provides you with a free template for the programme Improvement plan. This is the third phase of a three phased programme methodology. The first phase being the programme start up phase and the second being the Programme Improvement Plan. This document is based on MSP, Lean and Six Sigma programme methodologies. The key difference and unique perspective for this methodology is that the programme never closes down but focuses on continuous improvement. This document reduces the number of documents that can often lead to confusion as identified in a number of methodologies. This phase reports on the progress made by the programme against the set objectives. This is an ongoing function, as the programme should not close down in accordance to continuous improvement. The programme delivery report reviews the project portfolio and its outputs and against the expected outcomes of the programme. As usual with any programme or project management methodology there is a key focus on the risks and issues that affect the programme and identifies the mitigating actions to ensure that the objectives are not affected. These templates are also available from Optimise-GB. Please contact me should you have any questions on simon@optimise-gb.com and visit www.optimise-gb.com for more details. Many thanks Simon Misiewicz
