One step up from the PRINCE2® Practitioner Certificate, Managing Successful Programmes Foundation Certificate brings together the principles of project management on a large scale, to allow project managers to master highly complex, multi project portfolios.
Who is it for?
This high level course is for programme managers, members of programme management boards, and project managers who need to start managing several complex projects to bring about large-scale changes.
There are no pre-requisites, but the course content is appropriate to delegates who need to manage several projects in a co-ordinated way, usually as part of a change management programme.
What is it about?
Programme management is the co-ordinated management of a portfolio of projects which change organisations to achieve benefits of strategic importance. Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) courses provide you with the understanding and skills you need to apply the methodology to managing programmes of work.
The MSP methodology was originally developed by the Office of Government Commerce (OGC) as a best practice framework and strategy for programme management, and draws from hundreds of real life experiences of change management programmes. It encompasses many years of best practice of change management programmes and provides a structured but flexible approach suited for all kinds of change management.
