Program Life Cycle and Organization - 2.5 hours/PDUs Program Life Cycle and Organization
Overview/Description
Regardless of your industry, programs and program management exist within their context and act as the infrastructure for implementing strategies. Effective program managers must be mindful of how different industries can impact program life cycles and the benefits they are designed to reap, and must continually refine their skills for adapting program life cycles to strategic goals.
This course will describe some of the key program management life-cycle considerations, including the key distinctions between program and project life cycles. Also covered in this course are the program management life-cycle phases: preprogram and program setup, establish program management and technical infrastructure, deliver the benefits, and close the program.
