Abstract Handling

ABSTRACT HANDLING
Definition: Abstract handling in program management refers to the process of dealing with
conceptual or theoretical aspects of a project or program rather than specific, concrete details.
It involves understanding and managing ideas, strategies, goals, and objectives at a higher
level without getting bogged down in the minutiae of implementation. This approach requires
a broad perspective and the ability to see the big picture while coordinating various elements
and stakeholders. Abstract handling often involves strategic planning, risk assessment,
resource allocation, and decision-making based on overarching principles and objectives. It
focuses on managing complexity, uncertainty, and ambiguity by developing frameworks,
guidelines, and strategies that guide the overall direction and success of the program.
Description: A program manager's abstract handling involves simplifying complex concepts

and ideas to ensure clarity and alignment across multiple projects. This includes distilling
overarching themes, goals, and strategies into actionable plans for various teams. Program
managers use abstract thinking to conceptualize high-level strategies, identify risks, and make
informed decisions for program success. They bridge abstract concepts and concrete actions
through planning, coordination, and communication, requiring analytical and strategic skills.
Effective abstract handling is crucial for driving alignment, fostering collaboration, and
achieving outcomes in dynamic environments.
