States an important aspect of programme management is progress control, which should be a combination of two approaches: regular progress control; and ad hoc progress control. Concludes programme management is a management process and, if properly used — not as a dogmatic, prescribed procedure — but as a means of improving co‐operation through help and communication.","PeriodicalId":178456,"journal":{"name":"The Antidote","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134162428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employs copious use of Figures to emphasize the arguments made herein.
