Whether you are looking to enhance your career prospects or contribute more significantly to your organisation, this programme is designed to empower you with the tools and techniques necessary to initiate, plan, execute, and close programs efficiently.
Important Note:
Because program management is a management layer above project management, the knowledge of project management is certainly helpful in understanding program management. However, this programme does not assume a prior knowledge of project or program management. The concepts and topics, both simple and complex, would be clearly explained to facilitate stepwise learning, understanding and application thereby preventing confusion. This makes the programme as useful for beginners as for experienced professionals.Learning Objectives
