Aligned to the Five PgMP Domains
This section answers what you will learn in the PgMP training. By the end, you can align programs to strategy, deliver and sustain benefits, govern component projects, engage stakeholders, and walk into the exam and panel review prepared.
Learn to assess the organization, define program objectives and outcomes, build the business case and roadmap, and manage organizational change so programs stay aligned to strategy. This covers the Strategic Program Management domain of the PgMP ECO.
Master how to initiate, plan, execute, transition, and close a program while managing finances, scope, schedule, quality, resources, and procurement across component projects. This is the largest domain of the PgMP exam at 44 percent.
Build the ability to identify, map, plan, monitor, and sustain the strategic benefits a program is designed to deliver, then transition ongoing benefits realization to operations after the program closes.
Develop skill in identifying and analyzing stakeholders, planning engagement, and managing communications and expectations across complex programs so support is built and resistance is managed throughout the life cycle.
Learn to establish a governance framework, authorize and control components, monitor performance, manage program change, and lead audits and closure with clear decision rights and escalation paths.
Prepare for the 170-question, four-hour PgMP exam and the multi-rater panel review with practice questions, mock exams, and guidance on documenting your program experience for the PMI application.
