Programs are critical for organizations aiming to achieve strategic objectives. From initiation to benefits realization, program managers and teams coordinate related projects to generate more benefits than the individual components could achieve alone.
The Standard for Program Management—Fifth Edition is the definitive guide for enhancing program management practices. This edition identifies eight principles that guide behavior within program management, establishing the publication as a principle-led standard.
A new performance domain, Collaboration, has been introduced, with reorganized content for a streamlined approach to reading, understanding, and using the standard.
Offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI), this standard is a powerful tool for diverse organizations, regardless of their project delivery methods. It is an invaluable resource for portfolio, program, and project managers, as well as senior managers and stakeholders.
Approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), The Standard for Program Management—Fifth Edition closely aligns with the knowledge outlined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)—Seventh Edition and other PMI standards.
