Description:

Program management is an emerging offshoot of project management. A recent sign of its growing acceptance is AT&T's and IBM's push to certify program managers. There are few references to guide program managers in this field that requires a broad and deep level of professional experience. This handbook is the definitive reference on program management, providing managers this much needed guidance. Edited by Ginger Levin, the second person to become a PMI certified program manager (PgMP®), the handbook is a cohesive compilation of program management knowledge written by more than 20 certified PgMPs.
