Program management is a rapidly emerging offshoot of project
management. So much so that AT&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.
The definitive reference on program management, Program
Management: A Life Cycle Approach provides this much needed
guidance. Edited by Dr. Ginger Levin, the second person to become a
PMI(r) certified program manager (PgMP(r)), 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.
Each 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 "PMI Standard for Program Management" 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.
The 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.
