We recommend the following sources of information based on our usage and experience to date:
Managing Successful Programmes
If you want an out of the box system that will support a sensible programme – that is, help determine what the goals of a programme should be; how to run a programme including the roles; and what documents in a programme should be.
www.programmes.org
PMI
The international standard for project management now moving into portfolio and programme management. The body of knowledge is a great resource covering all aspects of project management.
www.pmi.org
PRINCE2
If PMI tells "how" and "what" then PRINCE2 gives a very useful methodology for "when".

ITIL
Process, process, process – it is the only way to get sensible improvement in an IT environment. Don't expect to get the process right first time, but aim for continual improvement that will reduce the IT pain in your organisation.

Training
We recommend Crazy Colour for training services. In terms of learning and passing they can't be beaten. Also high quality support is given throughout the process from first inquiry until getting your results.
