Program Management

The coordinated use of knowledge, skills, and guiding principles to direct a program so it achieves its objectives and delivers benefits and control that cannot be obtained by managing its components separately.

Key Points

  • Centers on benefits and outcomes across related projects and other work, not just individual outputs.
  • Establishes centralized governance, risk and change control, and resource alignment across components.
  • Manages interdependencies, sequencing, and integration to reduce conflict and maximize value.
  • Enables benefits realization and oversight beyond what any single component could deliver alone.

Example

A company runs an enterprise CRM program with projects for data migration, system integration, process redesign, and training. Program management coordinates schedules and scope, resolves cross-project risks, aligns stakeholders, and tracks benefits so the organization gains a unified customer view and improved performance.

PMP Example Question

Which scenario best illustrates program management?

  1. A project manager compresses the schedule on a single project to meet a deadline.
  2. A PMO audits compliance across several unrelated initiatives.
  3. A leader aligns multiple related projects to deliver shared benefits and control not possible individually.
  4. A portfolio manager prioritizes investments based on strategic fit and budget.

Correct Answer: C — Coordinating related projects to realize shared benefits and control

Explanation: Program management integrates related components to achieve benefits and governance beyond what any one project can deliver; the other options describe project work, PMO oversight, or portfolio selection.
