CIOB has updated its Code of Practice for Programme Management in the Built Environment. This second edition has been created to reflect developments in the sector, providing alignment with contemporary industry practices, standards and regulations.

The first edition was published in 2016 and covered governance, reporting and ethics. The updated edition ties in with emerging themes such as smart technologies, modern methods of construction, building safety, quality, sustainability, costing, procurement and project funding.

This latest version covers the latest practices and legislation to help deliver high-quality and sustainable projects and programmes.

Dr Gina Al-Talal, CIOB head of technical and standards development, said the update recognises the vital role of programme managers: “The landscape of project management continues to evolve, with a surge in larger-scale programmes, comprising numerous component projects, and it underscores the need for a comprehensive update to our programme management guidelines.

“We updated the Code of Practice for Programme Management in the Built Environment alongside our Code of Practice for Project Management for the Built Environment. Our commitment extends to supporting practitioners and academics alike, ensuring comprehensive guidance at every level,” she said.

The code is a natural progression from the CIOB Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development, which was first published in 1992 and is in its fifth edition.
