Event Details

The PgMP Bootcamp is an intense program that has been achieving near perfect passing on the first try when utilizing the full suite of resources from PMI and PMO Advisory.

To enable learning, this course applies a combination of traditional lecturing of key concepts, discussion of cases and examples, review of important artifacts, and sharing of experiences. Most importantly, this course includes access to the PgMP Exam Simulators. We anticipate PMI will slowly transition the exam toward the Fifth edition of the Standard for Program Management. Our plan is to offer multiple versions of the exam simulator that includes over 1,800 questions based on 4th edition and another 1,500 questions based on the 5th edition.

The values of this certification are as follows:
• Develop and strengthen program management knowledge and framework
• Be a member of a group of professionals numbering around 3,000 worldwide who hold
the PgMP certification
• Position and prepare for leading large and complex projects and programs
• Attain a senior role at the top of the technical project management professional ladder

Who Should Attend?
• Program managers who strive to achieve a globally recognized certification
• Senior project managers and directors who are leading large and complex initiatives
• Project and program managers who are seeking greater responsibilities and rewards
• PMO managers who are managing large projects with the imperative of developing a
more program perspective
• Up and coming project professionals who are ready to take the next leap into the reign of
larger and more complex projects
• Senior project operational professionals who are “accidental project managers” and who
have grown beyond the PMP credential, and are involved in leading and operating
transformative projects and programs in their organizations.

Learning Goals: After this course, attendees should be able to:
• Explain the context of program management in organizations
• Articulate the role of the program manager and the key challenges
• Describe and analyze the key processes, knowledge areas, and key activities
• Re-shape your experiences to conform with PMI’s approach to program management
• Apply key program management tools to strengthen your ability to address scenario-
based questions.
