Project Management

Program Manager

The 40-hour Program Management curriculum for working professionals — broader than TPM, covering tech and non-tech programs across regulatory rollouts, M&A integration, ERP migrations, and multi-year strategic transformations. Built on PMI's Standard for Program Management, Kotter's 8 Steps for Leading Change, PROSCI ADKAR, and the production patterns used at Amazon, Stripe, Microsoft, and Spotify. Outcome: you can charter a program, build the governance, manage the portfolio, and influence executives without direct authority — ready for Senior PgM and Staff PgM interviews in 2025-2026.
