The program (MSP^®) consists of specific projects (PRINCE2^®) that have a common goal or project intent. If we are tasked with a more complex transformation or implementation of organisational, business or strategic goals, usually the implementation of this goal will require the management of more than one type of project.

That's exactly what Managing Successful Programs (MSP^®) is about. Program goals are always at the strategic level and their goal is to meet organisational, business or transformation goals.

Nowadays, MSP^® is considered a worldwide "best practice" on an international scale. There is no other equivalent that includes the highest management techniques and program management methodologies, but is also compatible with project management.

Managers, but also many organisations are trying to find a system to best transform strategic goals into successful projects. They devote too much energy to useless things - developing their own approach to managing programs and projects. MSP^® offers a framework, methodology, tools and techniques for program management in an organisation: to all interested parties: sponsors, business, project, program and top managers.

Use the MSP^® methodology in any organisation, regardless of its size or industry. It is not a framework that can only be used for specific environments, special situations and does not require any special knowledge. MSP can be used by any manager, because this course is based on a logical approach and management / transformation / change management. It doesn't matter if your goal is a new product, service or strategic change.

However, success depends mainly on how you and your organisation have decided to apply the "best practice" Managing Successful Programs (MSP). This methodology can be easily aligned with existing processes, procedures, or tools. The key to successful program management thus remains the completion of min. basics: MSP^® Foundation, but with the advanced level of MSP^® Practitioner you certainly won't regret anything.
