Overview/Description
The Standard for Program Management was designed to give program managers a set of processes for program management. These processes are very similar to the processes you can find in the PMBOK® Guide – Third edition; however, they are intended to deal with issues between projects and to offer a coordinated effort to ensure program benefits. This course is designed to help program managers describe the processes that support the program management life cycle themes. It also explains the difference between the program management process groups and the project management process groups, including the common inputs to program management processes and the components related to the Initiating process group. This course is aligned with "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK® Guide) - Third Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), Inc., 2004.
