ABSTRACT

This chapter explains practice questions to help readers hone their knowledge and test their skills. It provides all five of the program management domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Management Life Cycle, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Management, and Governance. Program governance enables and performs program decision making, establishes practices to support the program, and maintains program oversight. Governance decisions are important to focus on facilitating adaptive alignment of the program's approach to enable benefit delivery. Decision point reviews, phase-gate reviews, program health checks, and required audits are the four examples of planned governance meetings. Resources, budget, and operational limitations are three examples of constraints in the governance plan. Program goals and benefits are delivered through the individual components. The degree to which program governance is aligned with organizational governance is determined by the number, type, and importance of the program governance's interaction with corporate governance and groups.
