==Program management and project networks==
{{Main |Program management}}
Some projects, either identical or different, can be managed as program management.  
Programs are collections of projects that support a common objective and set of goals. While individual projects have clearly defined and specific scope and timeline, a program's objectives and duration are defined with a lower level of granularity.

Besides programs and portfolios, additional structures that combine their different characteristics are: project networks, mega-projects, or mega-programs.

A project network is a temporary project formed of several different distinct evolving phases, crossing organizational lines. 
Mega-projects and mega-programs are defined as exceptional in terms of size, cost, public and political attention, and competencies required.<ref name="Morcov2021"/>
