Background
The Centre of Expertise for Programme and Project Management (CoE) is part of the Commercial Delivery Group within Department of Finance. CoE was set up in January 2006 as part of the NICS response to a Whitehall initiative to improve programme and project delivery.
CoE is responsible for delivering the gateway review process in the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) and the wider public sector and for delivering other assurance products. CoE works in partnership with NICSHR Learning and Development providing both subject-expert input and hands-on delivery of NICSHR L&D's PPM learning and development programme.
