A Project Management Institute, Inc. (PMI)®Registered Training Course
Programme Management
Unlocking Business Excellence Through Efficient Programme Management
Course Overview
Both public and private sector organizations need to be resilient enough to withstand pressures from today’s ever changing fast paced environment. Such pressures include increased competition and cost pressures due to globalization and the digital economy. Resilience may be achieved by supporting operational activities with tactical initiatives that are prompted from longer-term or strategic planning. Strategic objectives help to maintain competitive advantage.
Organisation’s aim to implement business strategies that generate benefits and, in the case of organisations with a lean emphasis, value, for the business and their customers. However, if projects are managed independently, this objective is rarely achieved. Programme management offers the means to manage groups of projects with a common business purpose in an integrated and effective way. Programme management is a discipline that has its roots in the performance-based approach of project management (delivering a project to a defined schedule, budget and scope) but it also considers the strategic direction that an organisation is moving in at any given time. This course aims to teach delegates to consider this broader view and apply techniques that manage other areas such as stakeholders, communications and configuration management. Effective management of these aspects of the programme may be critical to the realization of anticipated benefits.
Highlights of the training course are:
- The training course is developed and facilitated by a professional subject expert with extensive industrial experience and academic background
- Course emphasis is on providing practical insights into the management of related projects.
- Approaches taught follow the PMI® standard for Program Management®, latest edition
- Case study driven reinforcement exercises enable delegates to apply the theory presented in a practical manner.
