It is designed for busy professionals whose responsibilities have taken them into the realm of coordinating, facilitating, managing, and leading programs. Program managers are leaders who are directly managing large amounts of project resources for their organizations.
This study guide addresses three main concerns facing PgMP exam candidates:
What are the essential concepts, processes, and tools that form the foundation of today's program management? Since program management is still an emerging profession with professionals often working in different ways, what does this mean for a standard exam? More specifically, how does that impact your ability to pass the PgMP exam? How best to prepare for the Program Management Professional exam?

By simplifying complex ideas and communicating them in plain English with relevant examples, the book aims to help readers not only to pass the PgMP exam but also to serve as an essential guide to program managers.
For the second concern, the book differs from other study guides by describing the author's personal experience as a program manager and addressing the most pressing questions for each performance domains in The Standard for Program Management. To address the last concern, the book contains 420 practice questions, access to an online exam simulator and an online PgMP community, and a time-tested approach for passing the PgMP exam.
