what are the similarities and differences between project planning and programme planning?

Question

I am trying to wonder if at all there could be some of the differences or similarities in the approaches  of programme  and project planning, this seems to be confusing to me.

Answer 1

They should be very similar as programmes are typically collections of smaller projects.  At the higher level, the dependencies between projects and the summation of all their plans need to be considered to determine the overall schedule, cost, resources and scope of the programme.
