Overview

MSP® (Managing Successful Programmes) Foundation introduces the MSP framework – the globally recognised best practice approach to programme management. Programme management sits above project management: where PRINCE2 manages individual projects, MSP provides the governance, structure, and practices to manage a coordinated set of related projects and activities that together deliver strategic change and organisational benefit.

The Foundation course covers the core MSP concepts, principles, governance themes, and transformational flow that define effective programme management. It provides the knowledge base needed to work within or support an MSP programme environment and is the prerequisite for the MSP Practitioner qualification.

This course is particularly relevant for senior project managers moving into programme roles, PMO professionals supporting programme delivery, and leaders responsible for coordinating change across multiple workstreams.

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:

  • Explain the purpose and principles of MSP and how it differs from project management
  • Describe the MSP governance themes and how they support effective programme management
  • Explain the transformational flow and the key activities within each strand
  • Describe the roles and responsibilities within an MSP programme structure
  • Explain how MSP manages benefits realisation across a programme
  • Understand how MSP handles risk, stakeholder engagement, and quality
  • Demonstrate sufficient knowledge to sit and pass the MSP Foundation examination

This course is designed for:

  • Senior project managers moving into programme management roles
  • Programme managers and programme office staff
  • PMO professionals supporting programme and portfolio delivery
  • Senior Responsible Owners and programme sponsors
  • Change managers and business change managers
  • Anyone involved in the governance or delivery of strategic change programmes

There are no mandatory prerequisites for MSP Foundation. Experience in project management (ideally with a PRINCE2 or equivalent qualification) is recommended.

Once upon a time, in a bustling city where glass skyscrapers kissed the sky and the hum of technology filled the air, there was a small park. This park was an oasis of greenery amidst the urban sprawl, home to a majestic oak tree that stood tall and proud. This oak had witnessed the city grow and evolve over many decades, and it had become a symbol of strength, wisdom, and resilience for the locals.

Across the street from this park, a group of visionary entrepreneurs was in the process of establishing a new consultancy firm. They wanted a name that would not only represent their commitment to providing insightful and robust solutions but also reflect their deep roots in the community and their dedication to helping businesses grow and flourish.

One crisp autumn morning, as the founders met to brainstorm names, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and illuminated the old oak tree in the park. Its leaves shimmered with a golden glow, casting a warm, inviting light. Inspired by this radiant sight, one of the founders suggested the name “BrightOak.” The name embodied the brilliance of innovative ideas and the steadfast strength of the mighty oak, a perfect metaphor for their consultancy.

And so, BrightOak Consultancy was born, with a mission to illuminate the path to success for businesses of all sizes, drawing on their wisdom and experience to help clients thrive in an ever-changing world. The majestic oak continues to stand as a reminder of their origins and their commitment to excellence.
