Program Management: Managing Multiple Related Projects Successfully

This course aims to enable participants to plan, manage and control programs that include multiple projects to obtain benefits that are not available from managing these projects individually. Participating in this course will teach participants how to align the program and its projects with the organization’s strategy, develop program plans, create control mechanisms, and manage internal and external stakeholders. 

The course uses interactive techniques, such as brief presentations by the consultant and the participants. The course also features several group exercises and case studies followed by plenary discussions and the use of computer programs for simulation. 

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Define a program and all its components, as well as identify the role of the program manager
• Produce a plan that aligns the program with the organization's strategy
• Develop the components of program management plans that include scheduling, budgeting, and resource allocation and use MS Project as a tool to manage these components
