Project management of our 'non-vehicle' projects & programmes at JLR is carried out differently across our business functions.

These projects and programme include: infrastructure projects, like new paint facilities that are directly connected to a vehicle programme or transformations projects and programmes that include: new Digital IT systems, a change in our Go-to-market approach through to building a new aftermarket hub. Today, there are somewhere in region of 1000 projects, with an investment of £

These non-product projects & programmes follow a standardised financial appropriation process, but no consistent methods to delivery of the programme. We rely on the capability, experience, best practices, preferred tools, etc of the appointed individual responsible for each project.
