商品描述

Program management is a rapidly emerging offshoot of project management. So much so that AT&T, IBM, and other organizations, both large and small in all sectors, have initiated a push to certify program managers. And, although universities offer courses in program management, there are few books available to guide program managers through this field that requires a broad level of knowledge and experience.

The definitive reference on program management, Program Management: A Life Cycle Approach provides this much needed guidance. Edited by Dr. Ginger Levin, the second person to become a PMI® certified program manager (PgMP®), this handbook presents a cohesive compilation of program management knowledge from more than 20 certified PgMPs. It considers the entire program life cycle and its phases—from initiation to sustainability.

Each chapter is written by an experienced PgMP from a wide range of industries and countries. Combining the rigor of an academic reference with easy-to-read language, the book covers the themes in the PMI Standard for Program Management and ties them to program managers' work. The chapters reference PMI’s standards, complement the concepts in the standards, and expand on the concepts and issues that the standard mentions in passing. The book also addresses a few issues that the standard does not touch on at all.

The book can be read in its entirety, or specific chapters of interest can be read separately. Overall, the book provides practitioners with a reliable source of information on the key themes and issues in program management. It is useful for individuals desiring to attain the PgMP credential and suitable for colleges and universities offering courses in program management.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

程式管理是專案管理的一個快速發展領域。以至於AT&T、IBM和其他各個行業的大大小小組織都開始推動對程式經理進行認證。儘管大學提供程式管理課程,但很少有書籍可以指導程式經理在這個需要廣泛知識和經驗的領域中前進。

《程式管理:生命週期方法》是程式管理的權威參考資料,提供了這種急需的指導。由Ginger Levin博士編輯,她是第二位獲得PMI®認證的程式經理(PgMP®),這本手冊匯集了來自20多位獲得PgMP認證的專業人士的程式管理知識。它考慮了整個程式生命週期及其各個階段-從啟動到可持續性。

每一章都由來自不同行業和國家的經驗豐富的PgMP撰寫。這本書結合了學術參考書的嚴謹性和易讀性,涵蓋了《PMI程式管理標準》中的主題,並將其與程式經理的工作聯繫起來。各章節引用了PMI的標準,補充了標準中的概念,並擴展了標準中提到的概念和問題。該書還解決了標準完全未觸及的一些問題。

這本書可以整本閱讀,也可以單獨閱讀感興趣的章節。總的來說,這本書為從業人員提供了關於程式管理的關鍵主題和問題的可靠信息來源。它對於希望獲得PgMP資格的個人非常有用,也適合提供程式管理課程的大學和學院使用。
