The Sales Channel and Processes Project is due to deliver the new sales processes within the next week. The programme manager and the BCM have been reviewing the new and revised sales processes with the Sales Manager to make sure that they meet the specified needs of the business before they are implemented.

In which activity of the 'deliver the capabilities' process should this review be carried out?

The BCM has suggested that the schedule to achieve the increased sales and reduced costs should be integrated with the programme's schedule for delivering the projects. This would create a single view of the programme's work to deliver the new sales processes and channels as well as the increased sales and reduced costs. The programme manager has opposed this, believing it to be an invalid interpretation of the ‘structure’ theme.

Is the programme manager correct, and why?

In the programme brief three options were considered:

(1) Keep PCSafe and TechStore as two separate companies

(2) Carry out the merger

(3) Keep the companies separate but with close collaboration

The programme manager is now developing the business case in the 'design the outcomes' process and is reconsidering the options provided, and any new ones that have become apparent as more information is gathered.

Which theme is being applied by the programme manager?
