New Content
No major changes were made to The Standard for Program Management – Fourth Edition. However, several updates were made:
- The standard intends to shift closer to being principle-based rather than process-based. Therefore references to “supporting processes” were changed to “supporting program activities.”
- Program activities were realigned to program lifecycle phases rather than topics.
- Section 1 was expanded to address the key roles of the program manager, program sponsor and program management office.
- Roles associated with program governance were expanded.
We plan to publish The Standard for Program Management – Fourth Edition in Q3 2017.
