Course Description

All organizations and companies undergo continuous change and improvement as a natural process. The main vehicle for delivering change is the project. However there is a limit to what one project can achieve and major change may often only be delivered through a collection of related projects, i.e. a Programme.

Programs are complex, difficult, and carry substantial risk. They involve many parts of an enterprise and many valuable resources. The impact of not managing them successfully could be considerable. Programs require effective management to be successful. Programme Management provides a proven framework for managing collections of related projects that deliver benefits to the business.

This course will give delegates a sound understanding of the principles and practice of successful Programme Management and prepare delegates for the MSP Foundation examination.
