The key to project and programme management is creating and updating an accurate plan to manage delivery expectations and monitor spend. Each client situation is different but the planning process is broadly the same.
In a Government Digital Project or Programme the requirements are broken down into meaningful chunks of functionality (typically referred to as features) that deliver the user needs of the citizen or public servant delivering the service. The Programme and Project Managers work with the Service Owner to agree which combination of features go together to form a release that delivers value to stakeholders.
The Programme and Project managers work with the team to estimate the size of features and determine the order in which to deliver them. This then becomes the delivery plan.
During delivery project managers monitor delivery quality and progress. They check actual delivery against estimates and adjust estimates as necessary with the delivery team. The plan is adjusted as estimates change.
If there is a hard deadline approximately 30% the features will need to be prioritised to be flexible as to whether they are included in a release so that to the core functionality will go live on time. - Planning service works with specific services

We assess deliveries with a focus on the key outcome which is “working software which meets user needs" that is integrated into "business as usual" .
The keys to software quality are Continuous Integration and Comprehensive Automated Testing. This ensures that as soon as code is written is tested and integrated with the rest of the code base to highlight any defects. Stories are not signed off until the build is complete without any errors.
Non-functional software quality the key is infrastructure as code so that all the test environments, including integration, performance and security are identical to production. This means that the risk of introducing new defects is significantly reduced and replicating production issues when they occur much easier, hence reducing the time to fix.
Governance controls are based on standard Agile delivery ceremonies. In backlog refinement and sprint kick-off we assess, and confirm, that the user stories meet the “definition of ready” so that we know we are developing the “right thing”. At the end of the sprint close-out we assess that the stories delivered meet the “definition of done” so that we know that we have developed the “right way” i.e. to the technical standards agreed.
