Course Overview
Program management skills are essential for senior-level practitioners on the forefront of advancing an organization’s strategic goals. Program Managers manage multiple, related projects in a coordinated way, achieving benefits that could not occur if the projects were handled separately. With program management maturity, an organization’s projects are considerably more successful than without it: 76 percent compared to 54 percent according to PMI’s 2015 Pulse of the Profession® report. The PgMP® is a visible sign of a professional’s advanced experience and skill.
This interactive program provides participants with knowledge of the framework, domains, knowledge areas, processes, and activities of program management based on best practices and global standards as set by PMI® and outlined in The Standard for Program Management, 4th Edition. This program equips participants with the tools, techniques, and skills necessary to effectively apply those principles in their work environment on any business situation or problem and achieve better business results.
