Overview
When you are managing medium to large projects and programs you need to be able to manage at a more advanced level. The increased complexity of these projects and programs requires an advanced level of understanding; team governance structures, global reporting and communicating mechanisms. You need to know how to manage projects of different types or sizes, deal with project changes and apply risk management to minimize and deal with risk.
