Our Transformation Project Definition
Programs are major organizational efforts tied to one or more strategic objectives (for example, a digital transformation initiative).
Projects make up programs and are tied to a single goal. For example, the digital transformation program may be split up into a Infrastructure Modernization project and Application Modernization project
A project is delivered in phases, which represent the high-level activities and milestones that need to be completed in order to deliver the project successfully. Workstreams are usually tied to a specific functional area and work on the various activities in a phase and can span across phases. For example, Phase 1 of the Infrastructure Modernization project could be scoping and may involve the server migration workstream and the data migration workstream.
