Definition
A program is a collection of interrelated projects that are managed together to achieve strategic business goals. Unlike a single project, a program focuses on the broader business benefits rather than just deliverables.
Example
A smart city program may include multiple projects such as smart traffic systems, IoT streetlights, and digital governance initiatives.
