Ready for your Programs to go live?

Ensure you've double checked the following:

1. Create each program: `New Program` on `Plan > Programs`, with a name and description your staff will recognise.
2. Choose each program's `Owner`, the administrator responsible for it.
3. If only one team should change a program, choose its `Owner group`.
4. Give each program its groups of grants: `Assign group` under `Groups` when you edit it.
5. Select `View Program page` and check every grant you expect is listed.
6. If the program's rounds owe the same reports, set them once: on the program page, `Edit bands` in its `Reporting bands` panel.


`Program` and `Grant` are your organisation's own terms if you've renamed them.
