Modern defence programmes span multiple projects, suppliers, and technical domains. Whether delivering complex platforms, digital infrastructure, or integrated capabilities, programme success depends on clarity of vision, governance discipline, and cross-stakeholder alignment.
AltaEdge provides programme management support across the full lifecycle, from initiation and mobilisation through to delivery, integration, and sustainment. We help clients:
- Define strategic outcomes and scope
- Establish programme governance and controls
- Align projects, suppliers, and dependencies
- Monitor risks, costs, and resource use
- Track benefits realisation and delivery confidence
We apply best practice methodologies such as Managing Successful Programmes (MSP), P3M, and MOD-specific frameworks to maintain control and transparency throughout the programme.
We understand the operating environment within the MOD, including the importance of stakeholder coordination, Defence Lines of Development (DLoDs), and regulatory assurance. AltaEdge works with DE&S, Front Line Commands, and key suppliers to manage programme delivery across domains, ensuring each element is integrated, coherent, and supportable.
Our services include:
- Programme strategy and planning
- Capability integration across DLoDs
- Financial and resource forecasting
- Milestone management and reporting
- Risk and issue governance
- Approvals and assurance support
- Stakeholder engagement and communications
We also support the integration of enabling functions such as engineering, cyber, safety, and supply chain management.
AltaEdge provides experienced programme managers who can establish or take over delivery of complex programmes at any stage. We can stand up Programme Management Offices (PMOs), lead internal delivery teams, or support SROs and programme boards with independent advice and oversight.
We help clients:
- Set up fit-for-purpose delivery structures
- Create integrated schedules and delivery roadmaps
- Establish reporting and control mechanisms
- Interface with suppliers and delivery partners
- Coordinate across departments and technical workstreams
Our approach is scalable, from strategic support to hands-on delivery leadership, and always aligned with MOD delivery and approvals cycles.
Large defence programmes carry significant risk. AltaEdge helps manage uncertainty through structured risk management, early intervention, and clear escalation pathways. We build robust risk registers, model interdependencies, and develop mitigation strategies that help keep programmes on track.
We also help ensure that public investment is tied to measurable outcomes. Our benefits tracking and performance management frameworks enable SROs and stakeholders to assess progress, demonstrate value for money, and build delivery confidence.
Our programme management services are closely linked with AltaEdge’s other capabilities, including engineering, safety, systems design, digital, and acquisition. This allows us to provide holistic support that addresses both strategic management and technical delivery.
We also work with embedded MOD teams, supporting the development of internal delivery capability through coaching, mentoring, and process improvement.
At AltaEdge, we pride ourselves on being a trusted partner to government and MOD clients. We deliver calm, credible, and assured programme leadership that brings structure to complexity and confidence to decision-makers.
Whether delivering a platform capability upgrade, managing a digital transformation, or integrating new operational services, our team brings the focus, resilience, and experience needed to deliver success at scale.
