The Next Step for Project Managers: Generating profits during the downturn

Imagine the power of leveraging this knowledge to win new business, conquer competitors, impress your boss and improve your relationship with valued clients. Learn the secrets of building an effective sustainable program for managing multiple interdependent projects. Program management is the art of working with executives to select, oversee and coordinate a variety of projects. Effective coordination across projects is proven to generate noticable improvement towards realizing your common goal.

What's the difference between programs and projects?

Projects deliver a small piece of the overall strategy. It takes the combination of several projects executed together to achieve sufficient impact. Program management ensures the sum of your projects provide the maximum benefit to your organization. Program management is an excellent vehicle to convert executive strategy into lean high-impact execution while reducing wasted money, cutting non-productive time and eliminating misdirected energy.

Competitive advantage

CertTest integrated the U.S. DoD 5200 program management framework with PMI's 2008 program management techniques to create an effective solution for prime contractors, businesses and consultants. Our approach converts theory into easy to follow steps for proper implementation. You will get plenty of practice through live case study exercises and participate in program planning scenarios which comprise over 40% of this seminar. Practice exams are just knowledge checkpoints, not labs. Practicing quiz questions is a poor excuse for training. This course reflects actual job functions with considerable time spent working on tasks a skilled program manager is expected to perform.

At CertTest you have the opportunity to learn crucial techniques for success. You will build new skills through real planning scenarios, make mistakes and learn the best methods to recover underperforming initiatives.

You will cover valuable information necessary in practical use of critical concepts, clearly defined objectives, and terminology to launch your successful transformation. CertTest continually receives accolades from executives for achieving noticeable improvement in the performance of their managers and staff attendees. This program was developed to ensure project managers understand a consistent foundation to manage with the correct "how and why" in all related areas.

This two day course is intended for recurrent PDU/CPE training with coverage of PgMP® concepts. In this seminar we focus exclusively on teaching the specialized processes in program management without repetitive duplication of PMP-CAPM ® material.

Course content

Each day you will be working alongside the study guide authors with first hand guidance from published experts.

Every professional needs to attend annual training to stay current, otherwise valuable skills will erode into history. Program management helps you stretch resources for greater impact. Using these techniques can transform good performance into great for almost any industry, field or occupation. Isn't it time to put the brakes on internal strife to take your place at the top?

This course was designed in direct response to our customers challenge of expanding the benefits to reach all levels of their organization. Our skill building seminar is designed to meet the needs of a broad audience by providing How-to techniques for people interested in improving overall performance.
