“The stakeholder strategy identifies the functional

stakeholder groups for the program. The stakeholder

groups are integral to the sponsorship and governance

structure of the program.”


• Communication

“Execution roadmaps provide a high-level guide for the

planning and delivery of a program or stream of work/project.

They provide a visual representation as a whole and do not

focus on the details of delivery.”

• Usability Analysis

“A transition strategy incorporates the information that is
