Program endorsements

The Program and Product Managers jobs have never been more demanding. The speed of change in markets and the comprehensive nature of transformation programs require a ‘Spidey Sense’ to balance the discipline and flexibility needed to adapt in real time. Leaders need to be agile, navigate political waters, manage incredible complexity and align diverse stakeholders. I have been in industry for over 30 years and I’ve seen what great looks like, and unfortunately, the consequences when unqualified people run critical programs. University of Maryland’s Professional Certificate in Program Management delivers against the key competencies and skills needed to be great. I highly recommend these courses if you are looking to become the next great Program Manager. Invest in yourself and join the movement to deliver change!
