Introduction:
The Program Management Professional (PgMP) Certification is a recently introduced credential by PMI. It validates the skills of professionals who manage multiple interconnected projects (programs) aligned with an organization's strategy.

PgMP candidates manage program resources, make crucial decisions, and adapt the program to advance strategic and business objectives, ensuring its overall success and acceptance.
