PgMP Domain: Program Life Cycle Management

Program Life Cycle Management is the largest PgMP domain. It tests whether you can move a program from definition through transition while preserving integration, governance discipline, and benefit focus across all components.

Stronger answers manage the whole program system. Weak answers either stay too abstract and ignore execution realities, or drop to project-level coordination without preserving program intent.

What this chapter covers

• initiating the program and defining component structure
• planning the management architecture for integrated delivery
• coordinating execution and benefits tracking
• controlling dependencies, change, and risk
• transitioning, closing, and sustaining value
