Overview/Description
Regardless of your industry, programs and program management exist within their context and act as the infrastructure for implementing strategies.

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.
