Program Management: How to Achieve Your Strategic Goals!

Program Management: How to Achieve Your Strategic Goals!

Do you find yourself or your team "busy", but not necessarily achieving your goals? Having goals is great, but if you don't know how to make them become real, what good are they? This course is focused on professionals looking to learn more about why project management is so important to goal achievement, how projects and programs relate, and how to take steps toward project, program, and portfolio planning to ensure you are on track to meet your goals!

If you want to understand the bigger picture, and not just focus on the project management technical skills alone (also important!), then this course is exactly what you need!

Tired of hearing about how "Agile project management" is the way to solve everything? This course isn't a lesson on the day-to-day tactics, but instead is a course that shows you what none of the other courses do - WHY project management (whether it's agile project management, Kanban, Agile SCRUM, PRINCE2 or others) is so important, and how projects align to programs, and programs align to portfolios!

Here's what just a few of my 10,500+ students are saying:

"Excellent course with information concerning critical project management concepts and deployment." - Chad

"Most PM courses I've taken focus only on how to take the PMP exam. This one actually shows you HOW to be a PM who can be both strategic and tactical, and not just "pass a test" then not understand what you're doing and why when you get on the job! This course is unique, and I'm really glad I took it!." - Austin

"This course is an excellent way to learn about the basics of project management, especially if you have never been a Project Manager, or if you have noticed a lot of recruitment ad descriptions requesting project management as a skill and you are unsure of whether you have any experience in that yet were never specifically advised that was what you were doing. After the course you will be able to see how Project Management is applicable across various industries and what the differences are between Project Management, Program Management and Portfolio Management, as well as how Project Management is the starting point to get to the other two in your career."  - Alison

"It was very clear presentation and whether one implements project elements or controls them I found the course brought it all together nicely. Really enjoyed the course thks." - Rita
