Abstract
Project Management (PM) is supported by methodology "of goal driven management" for technical system implementation. In contrast, Japanese version of Project and Program Management (P2M) is underlined to "strategic implementation management" for expansive application to social and business system. Its methodology must be, therefore, contrived to suit to the purpose for program management to be conclusive and congruent to PM as well. PM view is premised to closed system in stable environment. In the meanwhile, P2M is based on the view of "open adaptive system" and management in unstable environment and the methodology was developed to adapt to the purpose. The back of properties is characterized by knowledge and methods related notably to such capabilities of insightfulness, diagnosis, and integration. A unique P2M method of "Mission Driven Approach" is the source of idea generation for value creation and its holistic picture is drawn by logic of "abduction". The methodology of modeling in "complexity" is also built in architecture to innovation issues. However, confronted with high level of recent finance crisis, betterment to creative integration between head office and program is the target debate. The paper offers some vital proposals for betterment.
