 The general definition of program management, is a process of managing several related projects, often with the intention of improving an organisation's performance.

By creating a program of teams, a platform is established to do Program Planning in Tempo Planner.

A program of teams can be created in two ways. The main way is through the Programs tab, where many teams can be added to a program. A second way is during configuration of a team via the Create Program dialog, but it initially adds only one team.

Add Program

Procedure

• Open the Create programs and select Programs from the Manage drop-down menu.
• Type in a Name for the new program and choose a Manager for it, by searching the JIRA User picker.
• Select one or more Teams from the teams picker and click the Add button next to it.
   A program can be deleted or updated by clicking the appropriate link or button for it.

Adding a new program including a certain team

• A program can be added when configuring a team, by clicking on the Create New Program link on the Configure Team page.
• A Create Program dialog is opened, to add a Name and Manager for the new program.
• Click the Create Program button to finish the process or the Cancel link to opt out.
• The team being configured is added to the new program.
   A team can only belong to one program and if the current team was in another program, it is moved to the newly created program.
• The new program can be configured further in the Programs section as in item 1 above.
   The team being configured can also be added to existing programs from the Program picker on the Configure Team page.
