Description

Organizations in all industries often manage large strategic projects within or as part of a Program Management Office (PMO) structure or a dedicated portfolio organization. Students will learn the difference between managing projects within both program and portfolio management structures. This course, through a combination of lecture, discussion, case studies, and practical exercises, engages students in examining strategies organizations use to prioritize and manage a portfolio of complex and often geographically distributed projects.
