Opis

Written by two of the first people to obtain the Program Management Professional (PgMP) certification from the Project Management Institute, this book explores various competency models for program management. The book delineates a competency model that follows the framework of PMI's model for project managers but is applied to program managers with performance and personal competencies. After an overview of the model, the text presents three separate questionnaires designed for organizations, existing program managers, and aspiring program managers, respectively, to assess their own development plans.
