If you are just starting up, start a list.
Then add the additional coordination (more important than
management) features that make the most sense to your team or
project. Add what's important, weigh documentation and
formality against the burden of record keeping.
If everything on this list is implemented, then think about
systems engineering,
risk management, configuration management (CM)
or quality assurance (QA). Or check out the Project
Management Institute. If your team of teams or problem is
big enough, then there may be other things you will need to do.
Project management by the
numbers also has some very good point. Financial
management is central to program management, for some ideas from the
financial side, see money, money, money notes on this site.
In some cases, doing less may be an improvement.
