This manual, developed by leading program management experts experienced
at helping practitioners achieve professional certifications, provides
the guidance needed to prepare for and pass the new Program Management
Professional (PgMP) Certification Exam administered by the Project
Management Institute (PMI(R)) on your first attempt. This text is also
designed to serve as a valuable desk reference and includes proven best
practices and advanced processes and techniques with tips to help you
perform at the highest levels of execution as a program manager. Based
on the Program Management Standard(R) and A Guide to the Project
Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK(R) Guide) published by PMI, Program
Management Professional (PgMP) illustrates how to apply this vast body
of knowledge to real-world situations. Each chapter opens with a set of
learning objectives and key definitions before delving into the details,
and highlighted points to know are displayed throughout. Following the
general framework of the actual certification exam, this comprehensive
reference employs proven learning techniques supported by numerous
examples, tips and exercises, and scenario-based practice questions at
the end of each chapter. A complete practice exam covering all of the
material is also provided to test the reader's readiness for the actual
exam. Much more than your typical exam prep guide, Program Management
Professional (PgMP): A Guide to Certification, Best Practices and
Continuous Improvement provides a roadmap designed to help even the most
experienced program manager more effectively meet organizational
strategic objectives and continuously improve business results.
