PGMP

Program Management is performed by a program manager who is authorized by the organization to lead the team(s) responsible for achieving program goals and objectives.

As a program manager, you’re a senior-level practitioner at the forefront of advancing your organization’s strategic goals.

You manage multiple, related projects in a coordinated way, achieving benefits that could not occur if the projects were handled separately.

Your leadership is instrumental. With program management maturity, an organization’s projects are far more successful than without it — 76 percent compared to 54 percent according to our 2015 Pulse of the Profession® report. The Program Management Professional (PgMP)® is a visible sign of your advanced experience and skill and gives you a distinct advantage in employment and promotion.
