So much so that AT\u0026amp;T, IBM, and other organizations, both large and small in all sectors, have initiated a push to certify program managers. And, although universities offer courses in program management, there are few books available to guide program managers through this field that requires a broad level of knowledge and experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe definitive reference on program management, \u003cstrong\u003eProgram Management: A Life Cycle Approach \u003c\/strong\u003eprovides this much needed guidance. Edited by Dr. Ginger Levin, the second person to become a PMI® certified program manager (PgMP®), this handbook presents a cohesive compilation of program management knowledge from more than 20 certified PgMPs. It considers the entire program life cycle and its phases—from initiation to sustainability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is written by an experienced PgMP from a wide range of industries and countries. Combining the rigor of an academic reference with easy-to-read language, the book covers the themes in the \u003ci\u003ePMI Standard for Program Management\u003c\/i\u003e and ties them to program managers' work. The chapters reference PMI’s standards, complement the concepts in the standards, and expand on the concepts and issues that the standard mentions in passing. The book also addresses a few issues that the standard does not touch on at all. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book can be read in its entirety, or specific chapters of interest can be read separately. Overall, the book provides practitioners with a reliable source of information on the key themes and issues in program management. It is useful for individuals desiring to attain the PgMP credential and suitable for colleges and universities offering courses in program management. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56434730959222,"sku":"9781466516878","price":183.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36651170.jpg?v=1760718351","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781466516878-program-mgmt","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
