Course details

  • The relationship between program and project management can be thought of in terms of climbing a ladder. Program management is the subsequent rung after project management. For example, project managers regularly balance many projects with varying deadlines and responsibilities all at the same time. In a similar way, program managers must balance multiple programs, consisting of many different projects. When in a program management environment, there is an entirely new set of skills and knowledge a program manager must possess in order to be successful in this role. This course provides an introduction to program management and the roles and responsibilities required of the program manager. Specifically, learners will be introduced to the importance of program management and the value of a program manager to the success of an organization; the differences between project, program, and portfolio management, and the interactions among them. This course provides a foundational knowledge base reflecting the most up-to-date program management information, so learners can effectively put principles to work at their own organizations. This course will assist the learner in initial preparation for the PMI® Program Management certification exam.
