About this book
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®) 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® and A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® 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.
