Behind every successful technology initiative is a program manager who connects vision to execution. This course introduces the core principles of technical program management and explores advanced strategies for driving impact across teams and organizations. Students will learn how to initiate programs, build cross-functional teams, manage risk, and communicate effectively with executives while using tools such as status dashboards and phase-gate presentations. Through case studies, discussions, and hands-on exercises, students will apply best practices for prioritization, workflow optimization, and stakeholder alignment. Real-world examples—from coordinating complex product launches to leading enterprise-scale initiatives—highlight how effective program management drives outcomes and adds strategic value. By the end, students will have a practical framework for managing programs with confidence, rallying teams, and delivering measurable results. This course is ideal for professionals seeking to strengthen their leadership capabilities and advance their technology careers.
