Program Leadership You Can Apply at Work
Skills covered in PgMP training span all five program management performance domains defined in PMI's Examination Content Outline. By the end of the program you can align programs to strategy, govern at scale, and deliver strategic benefits, then evidence that capability for the PgMP application, panel review and exam.
Assess the organization, define program objectives and outcomes, build the business case and program roadmap, and manage organizational change so every program advances strategic goals. This is Domain I, Strategic Program Management, of the PgMP ECO.
Initiate, plan, execute, control and close programs while coordinating component projects, finances, schedule, quality, resources and procurement. This is the largest domain of the exam, weighted at 44 percent, and the core of daily program leadership.
Identify program benefits, map them to outcomes, build a benefits realization plan, and transition ongoing benefits to operations so leaders can prove the value a program delivers, not just the outputs it produces.
Identify and analyze stakeholders, plan engagement, manage competing interests, and communicate across a complex environment to build support and resolve conflict throughout the program.
Set up governance frameworks, boards and decision gates, authorize and control components, monitor performance, and manage program change, audits and closure in line with the Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition.
