Program Management Practice Exam

About Program Management
Program Management is an organizational function that oversees a group of individual projects linked together through a shared organizational goal or common area of impact. This programmatic grouping of multiple projects provides synergy, consistent management, and greater visibility to stakeholders than individually managed projects.

Program management is a strategic oversight function responsible for consistent delivery of large-scale initiatives. Programs consist of multiple individual projects, which are typically managed discretely by project managers.

Program managers must maintain a strategic plan and schedule for their programs, inform and advise stakeholders, review the status and progress of each project, mentor project managers, and safeguard the quality of each project plan and its deliverables. Program managers take a holistic view of these projects, and evaluate the larger context of the combined organizational impact with the interdependencies by leveraging system thinking.
