The course covers the main training requirements in line with the Project Management Institute (PMI) needs, to enable the participants to sit the PMI examination that will lead to their registration as “PgMP: Program Management Professional”.
PMI Program Management Professional (PgMP)® credential recognizes the advanced experience and skill of program managers. Globally recognized and demanded, the PgMP® demonstrates your proven competency to oversee multiple, related projects and their resources to achieve strategic business goals.
PgMP credential holders oversee the success of a program, grouping related projects together to realize organizational benefits not available if they were managed separately. It is the perfect fit if you define projects, assign project managers and oversee programs.
As project managers advance in their careers, the experience they gain in managing multiple, related projects and making decisions that advance strategic and business objectives demonstrates this competence. As employers demand program managers who can support the strategic objectives of the organization, PgMP credential holders will gain a distinct advantage in employment and promotional opportunities over their peers.
This course provides the information that participants need to prepare for PMI’s new credential, the Program Management Professional (PgMP®). At the same time, it gives the participants the knowledge, in an organized and experiential framework that participants need to improve their program management competency and their ability to make a contribution to program success. Details of the full PMI requirements are available on the PMI web-page, www.pmi.org
