Overview

In early 2007, the Project Management Institute (PMI(R)) piloted the now highly sought after Program Management Professional (PgMP(R)) credential, reflecting the growing trend for organizations to coordinate the work done on numerous stand-alone projects into a cohesive program-type structure. Written by two successful PgMPs, Implementing Program Management: Templates and Forms Aligned with the Standard for Program Management Second Edition--(2008) is a complete guide that presents a step-by-step methodology, suitable for the novice to the seasoned professional, enabling managers to seamlessly move their programs from theory to practice. Providing a detailed protocol for managing a program from initiation to closure, this volume parallels PMI's Standard for Program Management--Second Edition (2008). Filling the void in the program management literature, the book goes beyond the best practices listed in the PMI's Standard to provide detailed guidance for these practices, enabling program managers in any organization to successfully coordinate any program. Recognizing that each organization has unique requirements, the templates described in the text can be customized and tailored as required through a CD-ROM that is included with this book. This unique package of ready-to-use documents, tools, forms, templates, and reports empowers program managers to bring their programs to a successful finish and deliver its intended benefits to stakeholders.
