Abstract: Disclosed is a program and project management system. The program and project management system typically includes a processor, a memory, and a program module stored in the memory. The program and project management system is typically configured for: prompting a user to complete predefined program plan phase tasks; receiving risk information regarding the program, rigor level information regarding the program, and one or more defined business outcomes for the program; calculating a program risk score; determining a rigor level; based on the program risk score not exceeding a predefined risk score threshold and each defined business outcome including one or more associated metrics, initiating a program plan tollgate; based on successful completion of program plan tollgate, prompting the user to complete predefined program execution phase tasks; and determining whether the metrics associated with each defined business outcome have been satisfied.

Abstract: Disclosed is a program and project management system that is configured to engage in quality assurance and quality control. The program and project management system typically includes a processor, a memory, and a program module stored in the memory. The program and project management system is typically configured for: prompting a user to complete predefined program plan phase tasks; based on the predefined program plan phase tasks being completed, conducting program plan phase quality assurance; based on successful completion of program plan phase quality assurance, initiating a program plan tollgate; based on successful completion of program plan tollgate, prompting the user to complete predefined program execution phase tasks; and conducting program execution phase quality assurance. The program and project management system is also typically configured for conducting program plan phase quality control and program execution phase quality control.
