The London Programme Management Approach (PMA) has been developed as part of the Excellent Programme and Project Management (EPPM) Programme by staff from ten London authorities and the GLA working in partnership. It provides a set of tools and templates accompanied by guidance tailored to local and regional authorities.
It aims to equip and support people delivering and sponsoring programmes to do a great job.
The ultimate aim is to ensure that major programmes are delivered in a way that achieves more effective outcomes for citizens.
For more information, head to our EPPM page
The London PMA is available for download by all public sector organisations free of charge. It is available for organisations to use as your corporate approach to programme management. You can substitute your logo for the Capital Ambition logo, or add your logo in addition to the Capital Ambition logo.
However, the EPPM team and Capital Ambition ask that you acknowledge use of the London PMA or aspects of it by letting the EPPM team know. This will enable us to track its usage and the benefits of it, and to consult with you on its future improvement. Thank you.
