Everyone involved in project delivery can benefit from applying these approaches to their projects now even before they become programs.
Key Learning Objectives:- Attendees will learn how to evaluate what responsibilities should be handled at the program level vs the project level
- Attendees will learn how to balance process standardization with unique team needs through outcome driven approaches
- Attendees will learn what practices they can start now in anticipation of their project growing to a program
