Program Management for Development Professionals is designed to complement PMD Pro with an emphasis on more complex programs operating multiple projects simultaneously. Our expert facilitators will take you through the higher-level requirements of a program manager and how to strategically adapt PMD's project management tools to meet your goals.
We estimate this workshop requires 4 hours per module (8 modules in total), depending on your pace of learning, and previous experience.
