Course Synopsis
Programme managers are, above all else, change agents.
The role of the programme manager has evolved in most
organisations from that of managing multiple projects to
much more. Roles have stretched to implementing
business strategy through an integrated portfolio of
projects - involving the management of multiple teams of
professionals and stakeholders. The programme manager
today requires a refined set of business and leadership skills
that are vastly different from that of a project manager.
To be an effective programme manager requires a firm
foothold in project management. To many - programme
management is the next logical step in the career
progression of one of the world’s fastest growing
disciplines.
This course includes an integrated case study that will
provide you with the opportunity to walk through the
entire life-cycle of a programme while facing the types of
realistic challenges you will certainly encounter. You will
learn tools and techniques for programme governance
which are effective in managing stakeholders and
ensuring that your programme realises its strategic
objectives. Real life case studies will be presented by
instructors who have extensive industry experience.
Reminder: Participants should have a basic understanding of project management before taking this course.
